THE
POLITICS

NATIONAL

GREATNESS

by Franklin L. Burdette
Professor and Director, Bureau of Governmental Research, University of Maryland

CAN THE GREAT SOCIETY THAT PRESIDENT JOHNSON
proposes, that is both the slogan and the label of his
leadership, become political reality? The simple and even
obvious truth is that no one knows, that many hope and
believe, that everyone in America will be vastly affected,
and that the outcome will be greatly different from the
pattern that anyone could now draw.

That a Great Society might need to be built is an im-
plication which would have startled most Americans after
World War I. A generation which had made the world safe
for democracy was self-sufficient, isolationist, and com-
placent in temper. Had not America already attained its
greatness, lasting and inevitable? It has always been and
is now characteristic of Americans that no significant
groups have really doubted the national greatness or the
promise of the future. There is a new mode, however —
less satisfied but touched with rising moral purpose — just
over the national horizon, emergent but not yet triumph-
ant. It has been nurtured by a great series of cataclysmic
episodes: depression, the rise of totalitarianism abroad,
war both hot and cold, new and almost unbelievable
reaches in science and technology, unprecedented surges
of cultural and political expectations everywhere in the
world.

Americans have had a great society, but we must art
to keep up with the times. That is the new imperative.
But how shall we act? Seeing the need for action is an
expression of national purpose. The nature and timing of
action, the fixing of priorities and the allocation of re-
sources are aspects of the grand strategy of deciding and
guiding public policy.

Strategies for the National Interest

Guidelines for political action, or programs that require
political endorsement at the highest level for implementa-
tion were discernible in the campaign of 1964. The)
could be summarized by the campaign slogan, "peace.
prosperity, preparedness." The first and last of the three
are so closely linked as to be almost one. "Peace through
preparedness" is an oversimplified way of putting a com-
plex but overriding national demand. Two essential el-
ements of recent programs for national security have been
maintenance of the world's most powerful nuclear deter-
rent and of an effective Atlantic Alliance. Senator J. W.
Fulbright, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee
of the Senate, advocates a third element in the strategy oi

March- April, 1965

national security— the building of modest and limited
"bridges of accommodation with the Communist world,
not because this approach is inherently more desirable than
one of total victory lor American interests but because
there is no acceptable alternative in the nuclear age." Yet
he favors continuance o( the nuclear deterrent and the Al-
liance He s.ud at Southern Methodist University in De-
cember: "These. I think, are the three bedrocks of our
security: none would be an adequate policy by itself and
each contributes to the effectiveness of the other." The
Senator's suggestion about bridges of accommodation may
presage changes in national policy. But it can also be in-
corporated in other long-range supplements to security to
which the United States is already committed in principle:
the evolution and refinement of the United Nations and
the world rule of law without resort to a superstate.

Basic prosperity, with which the United States has been
blessed in postwar years, is both a national demand and
essential to the electoral survival of any administration or
political party in office. It rests primarily on the produc-
tivity of the free enterprise system. As Dean Rusk, Sec-
retary of State, has said of the development of world
trade, "the results we achieve will depend more heavily
upon private enterprise than upon government." Mainten-
ance of prosperity is highly complex, for it involves not
only holding existing levels of achievement but also pos-
itive progress in economic growth. An insufficient rate of
economic growth has been for more than a decade an im-
portant cause of pockets of poverty, deprivation, and un-
employment. If a family income of $3,000 (or $1,500
for individuals) is used as a minimum standard, about
34 million people in the United States are living in poverty.
Another 32 million, more or less, are living in deprivation
by a standard of $5,000 for family income (or $2,500
for single person). Moreover, the unemployment rate has
been persistently over 5% of the civilian labor force. These
conditions have deterred economic growth by leaving a
huge gap in the potential market for goods and services.
The tax reduction program of the national government has
been intended to stimulate both consumption and in-
vestment enterprise. The national anti-poverty program
has been planned as a means of education and training
for employment and also as a way of increasing consumer
income and demand.

Dr. Burdette is Professor
and Director of the Bur-
eau of Governmental Re-
search at the University
of Maryland, where he
has taught since 1947. As
Chief of the Information
Center Service, U.S. In-
formation Agency, 1954-
56, he was responsible
for administering cultural
activities to overseas in-
formation centers. He is
the author of several vol-
umes, including Political
Parlies: An A merican
Way, and editor of 23
published books. Dr. Bur-
dette holds degrees from
Princeton University
(A.M., Ph.D.), the Uni-
versity of Nebraska
(A.M.) and Marshall
College (A.B., LL.D.).

President Johnson's budget, submitted to Congress on
January 25, 1965, proposed: (1) increases of federal
funds for education, health, social security, the war on
poverty, urban affairs, and conservation; (2) somewhat
reduced expenses for defense, international and space pro-
grams, agriculture, and veterans' benefits; and (3) a re-
duction of about $1.75 billion in excise taxes. As could
have been foreseen, the president has been criticized by
some liberals for proposing expenditures too low to lift
the economy rapidly upward, and by some conservatives
for failing to effect possible economies in expenditure. The
president's own sense of the politic has kept the budget
below a $100 billion figure.

Political Parties and the Stakes of Power

The Democratic Party is now overwhelmingly the ma-
jority party in this country. Over half of American adults
identify themselves in some degree with it. The latest polls
report that only some 25% of Americans consider them-
selves Republicans. What we know of political behavior
also suggests that party identification is the largest single
factor in determining a voter's preference among candi-
dates running for office in a partisan election. The dom-
inance of the Democratic Party is likely to be changed
only by a series of critical elections, as they are sometimes
called, in which the primary allegiance of great numbers
of voters is shifted. The election of 1896 brought a large
change of voter allegiance from the Democratic to the
Republican Party, which thereafter became basically dom-
inant in American national politics for more than thirty
years. The election of 1936 brought a mass shift in the
other direction, although there are strong statistical evi-
dences of growing voter preferences for the Democratic
Partym the cities of the East, particularly in New England,
as early as 1928. Even in a period of party dominance,
the opposition may win a national election — and without
a major change in voter allegiance. Woodrow Wilson was
elected president in 1912 as a result of a split in Repub-
lican ranks, and reelected on his record as an advocate of
peace and progress. Eisenhower was elected in 1952 by
voters weary of military stalmate in Korea and in tribute
to his personal image as a leader above petty partisanship,
a major factor in his reelection in 1956.

In the past seventy years the major parties have had, in
their respective periods of dominance, the primary loyalty
of great numbers of industrial workers. As the modern
Democratic Party has been the party of the New Deal and
the Great Society, the Republican Party was once the
party of the full dinner pail.

If the lessons of the past have validity, the dominant
party must exert progressive leadership for economic op-
portunity and national development. If it loses that ad-
vantage, it loses the allegiance of its voter majority. The
greatest peril to a party is that it may lose its image of
leadership, that it may become ossified in times of chang-
ing conditions.

The United States is rapidly changing, Not only is pop-
ulation vastly expanding; it is becoming younger. The post-
war birth rate is making the electorate, statistically, the
youngest in the nation's history. It is also an educated
electorate, with relatively high job and income security.
With the exception of pockets of poverty and deprivation.

which may themselves give way to progress, economic
issues are being pushed aside by demands for educational,
recreational, and other cultural programs. The farm bloc
and even organized labor, sure to remain politically im-
portant in decades to come, are relatively less numerous
in the electorate as automation and other technological
changes tend to supersede unskilled and semi-skilled work-
ers, whose electoral strength is being replaced by that
of growing numbers of voters whose work is in middle
management. As elemental economic considerations be-
come less basic in predominant political motivation, moral
and cultural aspirations become more so. It is surely no
accident that the civil rights movement has come at such
a time. Significant also is the fact that Negroes are turning
from protest to politics. It is not lost in the minds of
politicians that President Johnson's victory in four south-
ern states depended on the votes of Negroes.

Decisions of the Supreme Court on legislative appor-
tionment and districting, widely affecting the politics of
an urbanizing America, will have mixed repercussions for
both majority and minority parties. The ultimate results
may well force parties to be more rather than less adapt-
able to changing circumstances, less rather than more
sure of stable majorities.

American mobility and the impact of mass communica-
tions media have tended to nationalize the appeals and
activities of both parties. The decline of localism — espe-
cially in suburban areas and in spreading cities where
voter identification with grassroots politics or even with

community governmental services in minimal — has at the
same time reduced the effective operation of permanent
political organization.

With all the winds of change, there is no sound evidence
that the Republican Party will disappear. On the contrary,
the present large majority of the Democrats holds a new
invitation to factionalism and disunity, as did the large
majority of the Republican Party in its day in power. The
advantages of the two-party system, of the loyal opposi-
tion (to use a favorite expression of former President
Eisenhower) are deeply rooted in law and custom. The
task of each party is to recruit and maintain responsible
leadership, sensitive to the claims of progress, and much of
the vigor and contribution of each of the parties will
depend on how well it is done. The number of Americans
who put party above country, or even above a central
issue, is very small indeed. For an increasingly large num-
ber of voters, partisanship is incidental. Voters not only
hedge their partisanship by splitting tickets; many of them
willingly support able candidates on individual merit. An
educated electorate the more readily recognizes that the
demagogue appeals to fragments rather to the whole of
man's nature. In a society open to the participation of all
its citizens, a society that we may properly call both
free and great, it is the function of electorally responsible
leadership to engage in political education and in the
engineering of consent. The electoral rewards of respon-
sibility have become more and more apparent in American
politics. &

Maryland's New

CENTER OF ADULT EDUCATION

THE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE CENTER OF ADULT EDUCA-
tion has become a reality. In the planning and con-
struction stage since the early 1950's, this five-story build-
ing now rises at the western end of the College Park
campus. Clear evidence of Maryland's commitment to
adult education, the Center is designed primarily to handle
residential adult education of the non-degree type, such as
conferences, seminars, workshops and institutes. All serv-
ices of the Center are available to faculty, staff, and official
guests of the University. The College Park Evening Divi-
sion's classes will continue to be held at their usual campus
locations.

Planners designed the building for maximum effective-
ness in the conducting of educational programs, but they
did not ignore the fact that it would be a short-term home
away from home for its residents. Each of the 116 guest
rooms has twin-beds, private bath, phone, and individually
controlled air conditioning and heating. These facilities
are available to persons engaged in educational programs
consonant with the aims and philosophy of the University.

General facilities include an educational exhibit area,
eight conference rooms accommodating 25 to 150 persons
and multi-purpose rooms for 200-600 persons. Among
the dining facilities are a coffee shop seating 80, and a
formal dining room for 150. The dining room can be
enlarged by opening an acoustical partition, increasing its
capacity lor banquet functions to 540. In all, the building
encompasses 109,462 square feet of floor space. Adjacent
to the (enter is a parking area for 350 cars.

Audio-visual equipment for providing educational pres-
entations in the conference rooms includes projection
booths, light dimming controls, built-in projection screens,
blackboards and magnetic chalk boards. There are also
display panels, automatic slide projection and focusing
controls at the front of each room, and public address
systems allowing the transmission of audio from numerous
sources. Supplementary speakers provide for balanced
sound distribution.

Throughout the building there are additional facilities
to aid the learning process. Television capabilities provide
reception of educational programs from the University's
studio. Regular UHF and VHF broadcasts can be re-
ceived. There is also a self-contained, closed circuit tele-
vision potential for originating CCTV and sending it to
all parts of the building.

Decor in the public areas depicts the Maryland Heritage.
Lobby furnishings are of the Regency period, while the
dining room is done in Queen Anne style.

Throughout the building paintings trace the history of
transportation in Maryland. Typical scenes show the Ark
and Dove, ships that brought the State of Maryland's
founders to its shores; the Ann McKim, first ocean-going
Baltimore Clipper Ship; and landscapes along the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Canal. Also depicted are a Conestoga
Wagon moving westward through the Cumberland Gap, a
Baltimore-Washington stage coach, and scenes along the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

The Constellation Room, a formal dining room, is
named for the Baltimore built frigate which is the oldest
United States naval vessel still afloat and which was once
the flagship of our Atlantic Fleet. The large banquet room
is the Fort McHenry Room, honoring the Baltimore Fort
where Francis Scott Key was inspired to write The Star
Spangled Banner. This event took place during Baltimore's
period of crisis in the War of 1812.

The coffee shop and Constellation Room look out,
through opposite glass walls, into a colonial garden. This
garden is surrounded on all four sides by the Center's
wall, but is open to the sky. It contains lawn, trees and
shrubs as well as a brick walkway and electrically il-
luminated fountain.

The large kitchen contains complete facilities for all
phases of food service, and is managed by the Center's
own staff. In one of its operations it prepares the fresh
baked pies, cakes and breads which are served to guests.

In providing adult education opportunities for the
citizens of Maryland and military personnel of the nation,
University College has operated as a self-supporting pro-
gram. It is one of the few state university programs oper-
ated without annual legislative financial support.

The major criticism of University College by the Middle
States Accrediting Association, in its otherwise generous
report of the College in 1954, was that it should be doing
more in the area of short-term "non-credit" courses and
special programs for adults.

Immediate remedial steps were taken and by 1957 the
basic plans were developed for the center that exists today.
Beginning in 1957 specific funds were designated for the
construction of the Center.

During the 1960 and 1961 Sessions of the General As-
sembly, the plan to build such a center was discussed with
the House Ways and Means Committee. Also discussed
in detail at these sessions was the plan to use University
College funds in the interim, until the Center of Adult
Education could be constructed, as the principal source
of funds to allow the University to meet not less than
one-half the cost of each new dormitory constructed at
College Park.

The cost per square foot for the building was $17.47.
The cost per square foot for equipment and furnishings
was $3.11.

These remarkably low costs were obtained as a result
of long-term careful planning by a group of dedicated per-
sons who thoroughly understood the functional needs of an
adult education center. Few buildings that are constructed
to have a useful life of 50 years or longer are constructed
at costs this low.

The University of Maryland is the tenth largest univer-
sity in the U.S. Eight of these institutions have residential
Centers of Adult Education. 1 A recent study revealed the
existence of 50 such Centers, and plans on the part of 15
other institutions to build Centers within the next four
years.

As a result of the Center's construction, the University
of Maryland is attracting scholars and citizens who could
not be accommodated heretofore. Recently theoretical

1 California, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio State, Indiana,
Michigan State, and Maryland. City University of New York and
Stale University of New York do not have centers by virtue of
their organization as consolidations of many widely scattered
campuses.

physicists from the Eastern U.S., including 3 Nobel
Prize winners, met for 3 days in the Center; forty
mathematicians attended a symposium on analog simu-
lation and engineering analysis; in the future the Cen-
ter will house such diversified activities as a National
Carrot Breeders' Institute and key persons among 6,000
members of the American Institute of Biological Sciences
who will use all of the facilities in the College Park area.
Within the next three months more programs will be held
in the Center than were held during the entire year, 1964.
The large number of individuals attracted by the pro-
grams of the Center will have a measurable impact not
only upon the academic stature of the University but also
upon the economy of the local area and the State. Mary-
land citizens may be justifiably proud of the real and po-
tential benefits of this new venture in adult education.

The Center is also destined to be a meeting place for
alumni organizations. The Center was the gathering place
for 125 engineering alumni, their wives, guests and stu-
dent leaders from the College of Engineering who attended
the Engineering Mid-Winter Dinner on February 4. The
program was headed by President Sy Wolf, '42, who, after
a brief word of welcome and presentation of the guests at
the head table, introduced Dean Frederic T. Mavis of the
College of Engineering.

Dean Mavis commented on the close working relation-
ship between his office and the Engineering Alumni Board.
President Elkins followed with a brief "state of the Uni-
versity" message. He indicated that enrollment at the Uni-
versity has increased 100 percent in the last five years and
that the University must constantly strive to maintain
quality. He added that the alumni can be of great service
in helping the University to attract its fair share of out-
standing high school students. In conclusion, Dr. Elkins
stated that one of the major problems of the future is in
recruiting and holding the best possible faculty.

Tracy Coleman, '35, gave a report on the status of
FEEDUM indicating that the program is nearly ready to
begin its general solicitation. FEEDUM is a project spon-
sored by the engineering alumni to provide funds from
engineers for use by the College of Engineering.

Sy Wolf, with the help of Mrs. Erna Chapman, Pres-
ident of the Alumni Association, awarded certificates of
appreciation to the 15 past presidents of the Engineering
Alumni Chapter. Those who attended and received the
awards were: C. V. Koons, '29; Fred Cutting, '34; S.
Chester Ward, '32; John C. Dye, '34; Joseph H. Deckman,
'31; Charles R. Hayleck, Jr., '43; Robert M. Rivello, '43;
Robert J. McLeod, '37; Emmett T. Loane, '29; and Tracy
Coleman, '35. Unable to attend were: Theodore Vandoren,
'25; Col. O. H. Saunders, '10; C. A. Warthen, '08; Dudley
Taylor, '5 1 and Ben Dyer, '3 1 .

The high point of the evening was an excellent presen-
tation on the United States space program by the guest
speaker, Bastian Hello, Engr. '42. Mr. Hello is an engineer
and project manager with the Martin Company and is
directly concerned with the Gemini space program. With
the aid of descriptive color slides, Mr. Hello in an interest-
ing manner outlined the Gemini program, its preparations,
hardware, launch vehicle, problems and objectives. He
related the project to the Mercury space flights and the
planned Apollo moon flight. The information gained from
Gemini in the problem areas of extended time in space
and the intricate rendezvousing of two vehicles in space
will add to the safety and success of Apollo. A stimulating
question and answer period followed the lecture. J*

OLAF DROZDOV, THREE LETTERMAN IN TRACK, WRESTLING AND FOOTBALL

Inside Maryland Sports

by Bill Dismer
Director of Sports Information

WITH AN ADEQUATE NUCLEUS OF LETTERMEN ON EACH
of the five teams, two of which won Atlantic Coast
Conference championships last year and a third shared anoth-
er, the outlook is extremely bright for followers of Terrapin
Spring sports.

Of great interest are the schedules which list 51 of the 73
events for College Park fields including 18 baseball games,
ten lacrosse contests, ten golf and ten tennis matches. And
Maryland's track team, which has won ten of the eleven
championships which have been at stake since the ACC was
formed, will be at home on two occasions — against North
Carolina in a dual meet and as host to the District A.A.U.

In addition to Coach Jim Kehoe's thinclads, Maryland's
defending ACC champions are Coach Doyle Royal's tennis
squad and Frank Cronin's golfers (co-champs with South
Carolina). Royal has five lettermen back and Cronin three.

And, despite their "also-ran" ranking of 1964, Coach Al
Heagy's lacrosse team is expected to challenge Virginia's right
to the title it won last year while Coach Jack Jackson's base-
ballers could make a bid for the diamond crown. The latter
surprised with a 10-9 record last year, good enough for
third place in the Conference. This year there are indications
the record will be even better, especially with three-fourths
of the schedule being played in the friendly confines of Shipley
Field. A staff of six southpaws, all potential starters, adds
to the fascination of the diamond picture.

Although record-hitting Jimmy Pitt (.460 last year) has
left school to join the pro ranks, Coach Jackson will have
both of his catchers, Bill Siedling and Bob McCarthy, back
as well as outfielders Bob Isaacson and Mike Long and second
baseman Tom Bichy. Phil Petry, Maryland's quarterback last
year, has been excused from spring grid drills in order to
permit him to pitch for the ball team.

Fourteen lettermen in lacrosse undoubtedly have encircled
April 17 on their calendars as that is the date that Virginia
will come to College Park for its annual game with the Terps.
Ordinarily, the Cavaliers are not one of Maryland's eagerly
anticipated opponents, but the stickmen can't forget last year's
debacle down at Charlottesville when Virginia's team broke
Maryland's clean record of seven straight with an unexpected

13-3 victory on its home field. The season starts for Heagy's
men on March 20 — the first athletic contest of the Spring for
any Maryland team. Two even more important dates for the
lacrosse team are May 1 and May 15. Army, one of three
teams to beat Maryland last year, comes here on the 1st
while traditional rival Johns Hopkins will be the Terps' last
stick opponent on the 15th.

Maryland's all-time high scorer in lacrosse, Bill Pettit,
will be missing but Bob Newkirk, Pete Smith, Bob Rombro
and John Kenworthy all will be back.

The lacrosse team's all-time record of 286 victories, 70
defeats and three ties probably is the best overall record of
any Maryland athletic team over the years. Lacrosse began
as a varsity sport here in 1924.

Jim Busick, a senior who won ten of his twelve singles
matches last year, undoubtedly will be the tennis team's
Number One player again with lettermen Vaughan Baker,
Lou Dobies, Roger Flax and Len Modzelewski figuring to
see a lot of action. Last year, when the racketers became the
second Terp net team in history to break North Carolina's
stranglehold on ACC tennis titles (Maryland's 1957 team
was the other) they were extended in only three of their 14
matches. Carolina, George Washington and Clemson were
beaten by only 5-4 decisions; remaining matches were decided
from scores of 6-3 to 9-0 with six coming by the whitewash
method.

Frank Herrelko and Bob McFerren will be the only
lettermen golfers returning, but the latter led the squad last
year with a 12-1-1 record. The linksmen will inaugurate their
season at home on March 27 against Dartmouth, carrying
into the opener a record of 40 consecutive matches at home
in which they have been undefeated. A tie with Virginia
(there's that jinx again!) mars an otherwise all-winning slate.

Probably the biggest date of all this spring will be the
renewal of the annual Varsity-Alumni spring football game,
scheduled for May 8 in Byrd Stadium under the spon-
sorship of the "M" Club. There's plenty of optimism re-
garding the 1965 season and Coach Tom Nugent and his
staff can hardly wait to get started. Losses by graduation
were few from the 1964 team which finished strong with
three straight victories for a 5-5 record when it looked
as if the Terps were destined for their second straight losing
season and Nugent is authority for the statement that he
expects nearly four dozen top-flight players to be in uniform
for the big opener with Penn State next September 18. The
prospect of three home games with the Nittany Lions, Ohio
University and Syracuse opening the schedule has a lot of
Old Line followers chaffing at the bit until they can order
their season tickets.

The Maryland Magazinf

It's entirely possible that something extra-special will be
announced for the spring game, but final plans haven't quite
jelled and we're pledged to secrecy until they do. It the)
develop, Byrd Stadium could be the scene of a regular season-
game crowd on May 8. More anon.

A Maryland alumnus. Bill Elias, Ed. '48, Phys. Ed. "56, has
been appointed head football coach at Navy. Elias was head
coach at George Washington in 1960 and has served in that
capacity at Virginia since 1961.

Seems strange without the Charmichael Cup (symbolic of
supremacy in varsity sports in the ACC) around the Field
House this year, but if Maryland teams keep winning, the
cup — which we lost to North Carolina last year by half a
point — is headed back for College Park. At this point it
looks good for us. The final tally will be made in June — at
the close of the academic year.

Inside Maryland Sports would like to take you around to
talk to some of the coaches and see how the teams have done,
will do, and are doing. First, we'll learn more about a man
that Coaches Jim Kehoe, Tom Nugent, and "Sully" Krouse
are all proud of; then drop in on "Jack" Jackson and see
how things shape up in the world of college baseball, and
lastly peek in to see Coach Bill Campbell and give credit
where credit is due.

Coaches Nugent, Krouse, and Kehoe have been astounded
by this New Jersey lad for several seasons now. His name?
Olaf Drozdov, the first three letterman since Tommy Mont,
who has been a real standout in the track, football and
wrestling picture for three years at College Park. An All-
Conference lineman for the Terps, Olaf hopes to become a
coach upon graduation. The Physical Education major is
also an officer in the student "M" Club. When the football
season ends, the big gridder turns in his helmet for his
wrestling gear. Olaf has turned out to be the grappler's num-
ber one heavyweight in 1965. He pulled double-duty on
February 27 when he went to Chapel Hill to wrestle North
Carolina, then dropped over to Raleigh to take part in the
A.C.C. Track Meet. He is Coach Kehoe's top discus thrower.
Last year he was the DCAAU Champ in the discus and
runner-up in the shot. Against the University of North Car-

olina, oi.ii set .i school record when he heaved ih<
155' <>'. .

Now, L-i's drop in and see how things are on the baseball
scene. Coach 'Jack Jacluon't I 1 "'" rerp Baseball l<
looks to be the finest group ol ball players evci the

Red and White.

Alter a 10-9 1964 season, the lerps show i better

things to come, I lie Mat \ hinders had Unit ol die- top ten
hitters in the Atlantic ( oast ( onleieiice last \eai Jim I'itt

and Bo Johnson are absent from this year's squad, but Inn
Bichj (.315) and Bill Siedling (.314) return from last >.
A.C.C. top ten.

Besides Bichy and Siedling, Mike I ong, a hard-hitting out-
fielder from Cumberland, Md., and Ike Isaacson, a scra|i|i\

outfielder from Washington. I)( . will be returning; to help

bolster the I erp attack.

Bill Franklin, known also on the basketball COUTt, and I
Kressig, a senior, will be kc\ figures in the infield this season

A host of sophomores headed bj such familiar names as
Phil Petry, Maryland's number one quarterback and quite
a pitcher, and Fred Cooper, a defensive back on the gridiron
and a catcher, could he a regular batters pair lor Jackson s
boys.

Other outstanding sophomores are outfielders (uis Sclafani,
Jim McMillan, and infielders Larry l)a\is and Paul Breslou
Dick Wright, Brad Frost and Jerry Bark are sophs, who will
help support last year's pitching stall. I he only veteran
hurlers for the Terps are Chris Sole, Jim Fowler and l.arr\
Butts.

Alumni attending the Spring Reunion. May 15, should see
a whale of a game — a double-header, in fact, with Penn State.

The swimming season came to a close February 27. I his
year we heard a lot about Phil Denkevitz, "Doc'" Dunphy. and
Raoul Rebillard, but little was heard of two of the tankers'
key standouts. Bill Nullmeyer and Eric Lampe.

Swimming second only to Phil Denkevitz in the 50 and
100 yard freestyle, Lampee has been a consistent point getter
for Coach Campbell all year. Eric, who hails from Eric. Pa.,
is a junior at Maryland. He is joined by another junior. Null-
meyer. Bill is from Rockville, Md., and has been a consistent
winner in the 200 and 500 yard freestyle events. &

Mrs. Erna Riedcl Chapman, President of
the Alumni Association, and Turner Graf-
ton Timberlake (far right), Eng. '41, are
two of the eight national winners in the
4-H Alumni Recognition Program for
"community leadership, public service, con-
tinued 4-H work, and success in their
chosen careers."

Alumni Receive National
4-H Gold Key Awards

The highest national honor that 4-H
bestows on past club members is go-
ing to two former Maryland 4-H'ers for
their public service and success in their
chosen careers.

Mrs. Erna Riedel Chapman, Supervis-
ing Director of Home Economics for
the District of Columbia public schools,
and Turner G. Timberlake, Chief of
Engineers for the U S. Army at Bel-
voir, Virginia, will be two of only eight
national winners of the 4-H Alumni
Gold Key Award for 1965.

They will receive their awards, in-
cluding an all-expense trip to Chicago,

The Maryland Magazine

at the 44th National 4-H Club Congress
next November.

A Ciambrills, Anne Arundel County
resident, Mrs. Chapman is President of
the University of Maryland Alumni As-
sociation. The former 4-H'er raised
chickens and was named Maryland 4-H
Health Champion before beginning
studies at the College Park Campus.

Working her way through school, the
honor student received both her bach-
elor's and master's degrees in home
economics. She later taught in the
College of Home Economics.

She also was an instructor in home
economics at Jefferson Junior High and
Roosevelt High in Washington, D. C,
before assuming her present post in
which she supervises 139 teachers in
42 schools.

Mrs. Chapman served on the faculty
at Roosevelt High for 20 years, first as
teacher and subsequently was elevated
to Assistant Principal. In 1961 she was
made Supervising Director for Home
Economics in the D. C. public schools.

Also the state director of home eco-
nomics for the District of Columbia
under the Department of Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare, Mrs. Chapman is a
nationwide speaker on nutrition, careers,
and trends in home economics.

A consultant to government agencies
on problems dealing with family living,
proper foods, consumer education, and
the urban attack on poverty, she has
given special attention to motivating
lower-income persons, including unwed
mothers. One of her training programs
is at Howard University where adults
are taught to be "housing care aides."

Continuing her interest in 4-H, she
is working toward the expansion of
this one-time rural youth group into
city and suburban areas.

Married to Ray F. Chapman, Erna
lives with her husband in a 200-year-
old house that they converted into a
modern home.

Summertime may find Mrs. Chapman
tending the farm. "The outdoor life is
part of the reason I'm so healthy," she
says.

If it wasn't for Turner G. Timber-
lake's, Engr. '41, 4-H membership as a
boy in Harford County, he never would
have gone to college and become an
engineer.

After his high school graduation, Mr.
Timberlake began work during the de-
pression as a laborer for a road con-
struction company. He had little hope
of attending college until a $200 schol-
arship he won for his 4-H electrical
project enabled him to enroll at the
University of Maryland as an engineer-
ing student.

More scholarships and part-time
work helped him complete his studies
with honors while he also distinguished
himself in athletics, journalism, and
the Reserve Officers Training Corps
(ROTC).

Service in the l . s \n m during
World Wai II and ihe Korean conflict
earned him three battle stare, .. ( om-
mendation Ribbon and a I egion ol

Merit.

As duel ol the Mechanical

neering Department ol the l S Aims

Engineer Research and Development
Laboratory at Ion Belvoir, Mr. Inn
berlake was awarded a Secretary ol the
Army Research and Study Fellowship
in 1959.

Both his military and civilian duties
have taken him to 1 urope and the
Ear Hast and through the United States

In his present position since 1961,
he has won the Department ol the
Army Outstanding Performance award
for three consecutive years

Married to the former Helen Bryan
and the lather of two teenage daughters,
Christine and Diana. Mr. Timberlake
holds the rank of I.t. Colonel in the
Army Reserve.

The public-spirited Alexandria resi-
dent has helped raise funds to build a
hospital and assist the Boy Scouts, PTA
and Little League as well as 4-H Clubs.

The other national winners of the
4-H Alumni Gold Key are:

Miss Gertrude Drinker, chief of the
Education Programs branch. Foreign
Training division, USDA; Paul W.
Rose, development officer, U. S. Agency
for International Development in Iran;
Congressman John F. Baldwin (R.,
Calif.); Dr. Emil M. Mrak, chancellor,
University of California at Davis; Dr.
James H. Hilton, president of Iowa
State University; Mary Merryfield, au-
thor, radio-TV personality and news-
paper columnist, Chicago.

Education Alumni Meet

The Board of Directors of the Educa-
tion Alumni held a business meeting
prior to the Brechbill Lecture on Jan-
uary 18. The main order of business
was a discussion of alumni support in
furnishing an alumni lounge for stu-
dents in the new Education Building. It
was decided to give the full backing of
the Education Alumni to raise the nec-
essary funds for the lounge.

The board joined approximately 250
other guests at the Sixth Henry Brech-
bill Lecture given in the Fort McHenry
Room of the Center of Adult Educa-
tion. Dr. R. Lee Hornbake, Vice Pres-
ident for Academic Affairs, presided at
the meeting. Dean Vernon Anderson of
the College of Education introduced the
speaker, Dr. Jules Henry, Professor of
Anthropology and Sociology at Wash-
ington University. Dr. Henry spoke on
"Vulnerability in Education."

After the lecture, it was announced
that Professor Henry Brechbill, in
whose memory the lecture series is
given, has been named Professor Emer-
itus. Following the lecture, a reception
was held and refreshments were served.

Russell McFall Elected

Dr. Kuhn is Named as
Vice President - Baltimore

Albin O. Kuhn will bring a "baker's
dozen'* of talent, experience and per-
sonality into his new position as Uni-
versity of Maryland vice president in-
charge of the Baltimore professional
schools and the university's new center
in Baltimore County.

His promotion culminates ten years
of working with university officials in
planning the physical refurbishing and
expansion of the university's six profes-
sional schools — a $20 million project
now in its second of three phases as part
of Baltimore's downtown urban redevel-
opment — and establishing the UMBC
campus scheduled to open in September
1966.

The appointment will enable the en-
ergetic, 49-year-old educator and ad-
ministrator to guide these plans into
reality more closely and add another
chapter of outstanding contributions to
the State of Maryland during his 31-
year association with the university.

Dr. Kuhn was an outstanding student
at the University of Maryland and ob-
tained a bachelor of science degree with
first honors in agricultural education
and a master of science degree in ag-
ronomy. He was appointed instructor in
1939 and assistant professor in 1941 in
the agronomy department. Between
1944 and 1946 he served as a line
officer in the U. S. Naval Reserve in
the Far East. He returned to College
Park as an associate professor.

The university vice president com-
pleted requirements for a doctoral de-
gree in 1948 at Maryland, with graduate
work at both the University of Wiscon-
sin and Maryland. During the same
year he was appointed full professor
and head of the Maryland department
of agronomy.

His basic training in genetics and
physiology were translated to crop sci-
ence in his classroom teaching of under-
graduate and graduate students and in
directing theses research at the graduate
level.

His ability as a teacher was recog-
nized early. He was one of four faculty
members to receive awards for excel-
lence in teaching in 1950.

University of Maryland President
Wilson H. Elkins appointed him assist-
ant to the president in 1955 and two
years later promoted him to executive
vice president.

One of the most familiar university
figures to Maryland citizens, Dr. Kuhn
travels thousands of miles annually to
speak before organizations throughout
the State. He speaks on a wide range of
topics, but most often on the develop-
ment and progress of the university
which he describes as a "growing insti-
tution that never loses sight of the in-
dividual."

Dr. Kuhn maintains a demanding
work schedule and usually is the first
to arrive on campus in the morning and
the last to leave at night. He has the
reputation for being a perfectionist. His
vitality, self-confidence and tireless ap-
proach to his job inspires a similar re-
sponse from students, faculty and staff.

Those closest to him say that his
sunny, even temperament, a trademark,
is never discarded, even behind closed
doors. He has never been known to
lose his temper.

Proud of his "country boy" heritage
— he was born in Woodbine, Carroll
County and raised on a 215-acre dairy
and general crop farm in Howard
County — Dr. Kuhn somehow finds time
to successfully operate a farm near his
birthplace.

"Farming is a family project, with
everyone sharing in the partnership,"
he explains.

The family includes his wife, Libby;
Philip, 22, a Maryland graduate cur-
rently teaching in Prince George's
County and studying for a graduate de-
gree in history at the university; Joseph,

Dental School Celebrates
Its 125th Anniversary

The 125th anniversary of the founding
of the Baltimore College of Dental Sur-
gery of the University of Maryland, the
first dental school in the world, was
celebrated March 4, 5, and 6, 1965. in
Baltimore.

This event has unique historical sig-
nificance for the entire nation because
dental education is the only major
branch of higher education that orig-
inated here — medicine and law, for ex-
ample, were both imported from abroad.

The anniversary program reviewed
the history of dentistry and contrasted
the crude practices that were possible
before dentistry became a profession
with the modern equipment and tech-
niques, new approaches to teaching
dentistry, and current research.

Dr. Horace H. Hayden and Dr.
Chapin A. Harris, who founded the
school in 1840, were honored by estab-
lishment of the Hayden-Harris Memor-
ial Lectureship. The secretary of the
American Dental Association, Dr. Har-
old Hillenbrand, delivered the first lec-
ture of this series on the opening day.
His subject was "The Past is Prologue."

Other participants in Thursday's
meeting were Cardinal Lawrence J.
Shehan, who delivered the invocation,
the Honorable Theodore R. McKeldin.
who welcomed guests. Major General
Joseph L. Bernier, who spoke on pre-
ventive dentistry, seven dental school
deans (five of them alumni of the Uni-
versity of Maryland), and a number of
other leading educators in dentistry and
related health sciences.

Dr. John J. Salley. dean of the Uni-
versity of Maryland School of Dentistry,
reported plans for the school's new $9
million building on Friday. Governor

Historical displays included such
items as —

and now owned by the dental

museum oi the l diversity ol

• Reproductions ol longhand cor-

respondence between G©

• The first license to practice den-

tistry, issued in 1810 to Hoi
ace Hayden, one ol the found-
ers oi the Baltimore ( ollege
of Dental Surgery < now pan
of the University of Mary-
land).

• The first D.D.S. degrees ever

granted, to the first two grad-
uates oi the Baltimore (ol-
lege of Dental Surgery.

• The charter of the Baltimore

College of Dental Singers,
granted in 1840 by the Mary-
land General Assembly.

Participants in the anniversary cel-
ebration saw not only reminders of the
dental profession's beginnings in Balti-
more 125 years ago. but main evidences
of the promise dentistry holds for the
future.

A glimpse of the future was gained,
for example, by a visit to the school's
new general practice clinic — eight units
outfitted with the latest equipment from
various manufacturers. The clinic is ,i
testing ground not only for the new
equipment, with an eye to its usefulness
in the new building, but also for the
school's new approach to clinical dental
education, which will influence the de-
sign of the new building.

Other factors that will shape the fu-
ture of dental education and practice
were explored in the panel discussion —
socioeconomic trends affecting dental
education and dental practice, psycho-
somatic aspects oi dentistry, and the
impact of specialization on dentistry.

The ladies entertainment committee
under the direction oi Katharine loo-
nies sponsored a luncheon and fashion
show on Thursday.

Dr. Kyrle Preis was general chair-
man oi the program.

Phi Beta Kappa
Taps Two Alumni

In recognition of outstanding contribu-
tions in their respective fields, two
alumni faculty members became the
first honorary members of the Univer-
sity's new chapter of Phi Beta Kappa
at the chapter installation on December
1 6. They are Dr. Charles E. White, pro-
fessor and head of the department of
chemistry and an expert on fluoremetric
analysis, and Dr. Michael J. Pelczar,
professor of microbiology and a prolific
writer in his field.

One of the Nation's leading histor-
ians, Dr. Richard B. Morris of Colum-
bia University, was the key speaker at
the installation. His topic was, "How
the American Revolution Was Won."

In his address, Professor Morris re-
examined the tactics and achievements
of America's diplomats at the first peace
conference in which this Nation was
ever involved, the one conducted in
Paris in 1782-83, by which the rebel-
lious colonies obtained their independ-
ence. The speaker cited some of the
lessons that diplomats today can learn
from studying these negotiations: (1)
the advantage of having the country
represented by top-level talent; (2) the
advantage of allowing a considerable
measure of discretion to our pleni-po-
tentiaries; (3) the advantages of both
speed and secrecy in such operations;
and (4) the importance of standing on
the high ground of principle.

"Unlike the two great peace settle-
ments of the twentieth century following
the two World Wars which have proved
to have settled very little indeed, the
peace which ended the American Revo-
lution not only gave America her in-
dependence but foresaw and, in fact,

made possible the future territorial
growth of the country, along with its
ability to survive and prosper," Pro-
fessor Morris remarked.

The speaker paid particular attention
to the role of John Jay in the peace
negotiations, drawing upon his resources
as editor of the John Jay Papers, a proj-
ect currently being pursued at Columbia
University for the purpose of assem-
bling and publishing in part the cor-
respondence of Jay, who was the Sec-
retary of Foreign Affairs during the
Confederation, as well as the first Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court. Dr. Mor-
ris evaluated the role of power politics
and national interest that governed the
diplomacy of European monarchies, and
depicted the negotiations as a dramatic
confrontation of the Old Order and the
New. He showed how the European
belligerents were prepared to end the
war on terms which would not have
created a viable state in America, and
how a combination of military victory
on the American battlefields and vigilant
diplomacy in Europe frustrated these
maneuvers.

Dr. Morris began his scholarly career
at the College of the City of New York
where, in 1924, he received his B.A.
He took his graduate work at Columbia,
receiving his master's degree in 1925
and his Ph.D. in 1930. From 1927 to
1949, when he joined the Columbia
faculty, he taught at CCNY. He was
honored by CCNY last year as the
recipient of the Townsend Harris Medal
for achievement.

The author of numerous books, the
most recent volumes by Professor
Morris are: Fair Trial; The American
Revolutions: A Brief History; The Basic
Ideas of Alexander Hamilton; and Ham-
ilton and the Founding of the Nation.
With fellow Columbia historian Henry
Steele Commager, he is editor of the

popular Encyclopedia of American His-
tory.

Only recently, the National Broad-
casting Company consulted Dr. Morris
for material for the first of its "Our
American Heritage" series.

Officers recently elected are Dr.
Homer A. Schamp, Director, Molecular
Physics, President; Dr. Dudley Dillard,
Professor and Head of Economics, Vice
President; Dr. Franklin D. Cooley, Pro-
fessor of English, Historian; Dr. Emil
Herrmann, Associate Professor, Depart-
ment of Psychology, Secretary, and Dr.
Lenora C. Rosenfield, Assistant Pro-
fessor, Department of Foreign Lan-
guages, Treasurer.

While members are chosen primarily
at the undergraduate level, charter pro-
visions enable a Phi Beta Kappa chap-
ter to nominate outstanding alumni who
have made exceptional academic
achievements. The chapter will hold
elections for undergraduates in the
Spring as well as those who graduated
last August and February of this year.

Professor Toll Named
University President

Professor John S. Toll, chairman of the
department of physics and astronomy
at the University of Maryland, will be-
come president of the State University
of New York at Stony Brook, Long
Island, New York, next September 1,
according to an announcement today
by the Board of Trustees of the State
University of New York.

In response to a question as to why
he will be leaving the University of
Maryland, Dr. Toll said: "I am very
happy at the University of Maryland
and pleased with the rapid strides to-

The Maryland Magazine

ward excellence that have been made
here under Dr. Elkins' leadership. I
would not contemplate leaving Mary-
land except for a most unusual oppor-
tunity. But the presidency of Stony
Brook is the chance of a lifetime to
lead in the development of a truly
outstanding state university campus.

"The University of Maryland has
tremendous advantages in its excellent
leadership and its faculty of high qual-
ity. While much remains to be done, the
University has already become an insti-
tution of which the State of Maryland
can be proud for its academic excellence
and its role of educational focus in the
State and the National Capital area.
Many observers now recognize the Uni-
versity of Maryland as one of the na-
tion's most promising public institutions
of higher education. It was thus natural
that the State of New York would look
to the University of Maryland faculty
when searching for a university pres-
ident.

"In my new position at Stony Brook,
I will be trying to follow the College
Park example and to build an institution
of a true community of scholars for
teaching, research, and service to the
region interacting with mutual benefit."

Dr. Toll, who has served as head of
the University of Maryland department
of physics and astronomy since 1953,
has made many outstanding contribu-
tions to the University of Maryland.
Under his direction, the University has
assembled an outstanding faculty which
enjoys an international reputation. Ap-
proval for a grant of $3 million to
construct a cyclotron was recently given
by the Atomic Energy Commission to
his department.

During the past year, Dr. Toll served
as president of the Phi Beta Kappa
Association which successfully gained
approval for the establishment of a
university chapter of the national hon-
orary fraternity at College Park.

Alumnus Mans Farm
Machinery Exhibit in
Zagreb, Yugoslavia

Farmers of Yugoslavia learned how
their American counterparts repair farm
machinery at the International Trade
Fair, at Zagreb. Responsible for this
demonstration of international coopera-
tion was Associate Professor Guy
Gienger, Agr. '33, M.S. '36, Department
of Agricultural Engineering at the Uni-
versity.

Prof. Gienger's activity was part of an
exhibit sponsored by the U. S. Depart-
ment of Commerce. The theme of the
Fair was "Food from Field to Table."
The Americans hired and trained six
college students to demonstrate and
translate; 23 American manufacturers
contributed farm equipment and ma-
chinery. Prior to the opening of the
Fair, Prof. Gienger scoured the country-
side, inviting farmers and cooperatives
to furnish him with broken equipment
which could be repaired in exhibition
at the Fair. This on-the-spot demonstra-
tion proved very popular; approximate-
ly 60,000 persons visited the display
daily. Here are some of Prof. Gienger's
impressions of Yugoslavia:

— all Americans in the Zagreb Con-
sulate spoke Croatian.
— 85 percent of all farm land is pri-
vately owned and operated in small
plots.
— Yugoslavian cows are milked and
used to pull equipment; they are
also eaten for beef.
— the Americans experienced no
restriction on their movements
through Yugoslavia; there were no
"escorts."
— state farms had no maintenance

program; equipment w.is used until
damaged beyond repair and then
discarded.

-the work day begins at 7 a.m. and
ends at 2 p.m.. with no lunch
period, six days a week. At 5 p.m.
downtown Zagreb is crowded with
families shopping.

Alumnus Paints Scenes of
Tragedy in Vietnam

Two decades after graduating cum
laude from the College of Home Eco-
nomics. '45, Cay Weston Drachnik has
returned — not in her graduate field, but
as an artist — an artist whose paintings
portray the poignant feelings of the
troubled times in Vietnam.

For two years. Cay with husband.
Navy Captain Joseph B. Drachnik. and
their two children, lived with the ten-
sions and the dangers of war-ridden
Saigon, while Capt. Drachnik served as
Chief of the Navy Section. Military
Advisory Assistance Group.

Mrs. Drachnik. service wile extra-
ordinaire, has taken advantage of her
travels in this country and abroad, to
study under noteworthy contemporary
painters and to broaden her artistic
horizons. Twenty-seven of her Vietnam
oils were recently on exhibit at the Lee
Gallery in Alexandria. According to
Gallery officials, her p. Millings drew the
largest crowds ever — main of them re-
turning for a second and third visit

Most of her paintings are oi street
peddlers. lonely children and refugees,
but two canvases deal with material
from yesterday's headlines. She had the
unique opportunity of being in Saigon
during an historic epic . . . she was
present during the bombing of the Pres-

March- April, 1965

idential Palace, the self-immolation of
Buddhist monks and the fiery excite-
ment of two coups.

Sadness and tension are the words
she use- most often when speaking of
Saigon. Her paintings convey the empti-
ness of the poor peoples lives and por-
tray the mystery of street scenes at dawn
and in the rain where automobile head-
lights become frightening eyes.

Buddhist Prayers for a Martyred
Bonze is a quiet study of three Buddhist
women offering prayers before the heart
o\ the bonze who committed suicide by
burning himself on a Saigon street.
Another painting aptly titled Child of
War tugs at the heart strings ... it
shows a little three-year-old girl, the
only survivor in her family following
a bombing.

Complexities of a Personality is a
symbolic portrait of Madam Nhu in a
black mourning dress against a fiery
background with four arms like the
Hindu god Shiva, the creator and
destroyer.

Reminiscing about Vietnam, Mrs.
Drachnik said, "Sometimes, I would be
painting in my studio and I would hear
the bombs going off in the city, but
there wasn't anything one could do
except go on painting." She continued,
"My greatest concern during my two
years in Vietnam was for my daughter,
Denise, now 12, and my son, Kenneth,
now 7."

Answering our obvious question, she
remarked, "Yes, I was glad to go — I'd
had enough grenadings, coups and
bombings to last me quite a while — you
can live in the midst of violence as long
as you accept it, but it's strange — you
don't notice the tension until you get
away from it."

While in Saigon the artist studied
under Nguyen Tri Minh, the dean of
Vietnamese artists. These lessons cli-
maxed a series of studies under fore-
most artists including Ralston Crawford
in Honolulu; Japan's Tashi Senda, one
of that country's foremost abstraction-
ists; John Cunningham, Carmel, Cali-
fornia, and Orville Dillingham of Los
Angeles. Mrs. Drachnik has won
awards in 16 juried shows during the
last five years — among the more im-
portant were the International Exhibi-
tion, Vietnam, 1962, the Los Angeles
County Fair Invitational, 1961, the Cal-
ifornia State Fair, 1959, and the Wash-
ington, D. C, Landscape Club show at
the Smithsonian Institution, 1964. In
addition to the recent one-woman show-
ing at the Lee Gallery in Alexandria,
she has had shows at Stanford Research
Institute in Palo Alto, California; Win-
ston's in San Francisco and at the Viet-
namese Government's "Hall of Infor-
mation" in Saigon.

The artist is noted for her abilities in
the perception and blending of colors,
and for her use of color planes to create
illusionistic space. March Planchon,

Alumni Invited
to Convocation

A record turnout of faculty, students
and staff is expected at the annual
President's Convocation scheduled on
April 7 at 10 a.m. in the Cole
Activities Building.

President Elkins will address the
campus community and the convo-
cation committee has issued an invi-
tation to alumni to attend.

French art critic of the Times of Viet-
nam, wrote, ". . . Cay Drachnik's works
are those of a complete artist . . . filled
with poetic vision and luminosity." Her
winning painting at the recent Smith-
sonian show was described by the art
critic of the Washington Evening Star
as ". . . free and juicy in color and
stroke . . ."

University College Dean Ray Ehrens-
berger, a former drama coach at Mary-
land, in commenting recently about his
former student, said, "Cay was always
an exceptionally artistic person — her
talents coupled with her indefatigability
were most impressive . . . she was house
president of Kappa Kappa Gamma —
was very active with the Victory Coun-
cil, 1943 — she organized and was pres-
ident of the Art Club — she worked for
the Old Line Network — she was secre-
tary of the Footlight Club and appeared
in 'Kind Lady,' 'The Silver Cord' and
had the lead in 'Murder in the Nun-
nery.' As if these activities weren't
enough to keep three people busy, she
worked with staging and scenery for the
Community Sing Club, and to earn
extra money she painted posters and
charts for the Agriculture Department."

Dean Selma Lippeatt of the College
of Home Economics and Mrs. Erna R.
Chapman, President of the Alumni
Association, will co-hostess a Spring
Tea at the Center of Adult Education,
at which time the College Park campus
and community will have the opportu-
nity to view these historical paintings by
one of Maryland's distinguished alumna,

His papers on obstetrical radiology
and measurement of the female pelvis,
published in the 1930's, are classic to-
day. His charts for the measurement

School, recently called Dr. Walton a
"distinguished radiologist and devoted
teacher."

He was a past President, charter

^v t£* V*

The University College Center of Adult Education has become a reality.
In the planning and construction stages since the middle 1950's, this five-
story building now rises on the western end of Maryland's College Park
campus. It fully reflects the colonial style of architecture which prevails
throughout the campus, and offers all facilities for resident conferences,
institutes and short courses.

University College provides classroom education for Maryland citizens
at centers throughout the State as well as for United States armed forces
personnel around the world. The Center also houses UC's home offices.

The Maryland Magazine

THE MIXTURE OF MYTH AND FACT

X HE GROWING DEMAND FOR HIGHER EDUCATION AND I III

great expectations of students and parents (particularly
parents) have brought the universities under closer scru-
tiny. Many criticisms have been based on the premise that
the rapid growth of the universities has created faceless,
impersonal educational factories where graduates are
ground out from merciless, sterile molds by the junior
members of the faculty while the senior professors are
comfortably engaged in their well-financed laboratories
and closed-door offices with the academic monster called
research. The neglected undergraduate, so the critics say,
is the victim of a "flight from teaching" and is the "for-
gotten man" on the mushrooming campuses. The poor
student is left to shift for himself after a brief exposure to
the physical plant and the horrors of registration, and a
glimpse of the glittering, wonderful world of activities and
organizations. The customers of higher learning, we are
told, somehow survive registration and inadequate guid-
ance and, armed with six digit identification numbers, begin
the tortuous course toward the glorified degree — that
modern passport to a respected job and social respectabil-
ity. The pitfalls along the way are described as traps to
eliminate not only the weak but also thousands who are
frustrated and discouraged by the cold, callous "multi-
versity." At the end, the student who outlasts the mechan-
ical monster is reasonably well prepared to make a living
but lacks a sense of purpose or direction. This is the
mixture of myth and fact about a large university.

OUR SITUATION AT MARYLAND

... the student must develop his own desire to learn. The
unmotivated student may remain unmotivated. The uni-
versity cannot force the student to work, the main in-
gredient of success.

In demanding a good performance, (the University)
fosters improvement and excellence. By an absence of rigid
academic regulations, it encourages independent effort and
the development of self-discipline. By setting higher stand-
ards, it raises the quality of the individual and society. By
promoting activities outside the classroom, it encourages
the development of the whole person. And by concentrat-
ing on the intellectual side, it develops depth so graduates
can perform effectively in their chosen professions.

(The) record (of student achievement) shows that the
percentage of failures has declined since 1960-61. In the
fall of 1961 the percentage of dismissals was 8: 1; in the fall
of 1964 it was 7:1. The total of undergraduate dismissals
during a year has dropped from 12.8% in 1960-61 to
10.9% in 1963-64 ... the overall performance of the
student body has improved. Moreover, we have a higher
retention rate of students in good standing, or fewer drop-
outs.

The latest projections indicate that the enrollment at
UMBC will reach nearly 9,000 by 1975, with the enroll-
ment at College Park stabilizing — we hope — at about
34,000 — 12,000 more than we have here now.

The myth that graduate programs weaken the teaching
of undergraduates is not supported by evidence. The grad-
uate school attracts students who are well qualified to serve
as assistants and who enable the university to serve a mas-

sive undergraduate enrollment. I ins enables many depart
ments to make the best use ol their senior and junioi pro
lessors who lecture in person oi by closed circuit television
to large groups ol freshmen and sophomores n the grad

uate programs were severely curtailed, the recruitment ol
faculty members would be more difficult than it is now

and ultimately the undergraduates would suffei from a ]
gressive scarcity of teachers.

... it is more myth than fact that smaller schools on
the whole provide better teaching than lari'cr ones. | he
important point is the quality of the teacher, anil lai
universities with their extensive physical facilities are in a
favorable position to attract highly qualified personnel

There is a great deal of apprehension about the future
of teaching because of the expansion of research and the
prevalence of a policy called "publish or perish." I his is
not an idle concern. There is danger ahead it we fail to
maintain balance and perspective. If everyone insists on
a maximum of six hours of teaching per week, and main
demand less, we shall have an irremediable scarcity ol
faculty and a ghastly output of unread publications. We
shall also have a neglected undergraduate student both.
This problem can be controlled at the departmental level
by promotions and salary incentives lor good teaching and
less emphasis on the quantity of publications. "Publish or
perish" is not an approved policy of the University ol
Maryland, but it would be a misrepresentation to insist that
it isn't practiced at the higher faculty levels.

One of the most persistent myths is that a good research-
er is not a good teacher and vice versa. The real problem
is to support research in such a way that it will not affect
the welfare of the undergraduate students. This can be
done most effectively by supporting the good teacher. The
noticeable "flight from teaching" could become alarming;
and in order to protect the interest of students and. in
the final analysis, the faculty, this subject must be given
more attention by faculty, administration and trustees.

There are a number of "late bloomers" and the Uni-
versity provides a reasonable period for them to blossom.
But the myth that most slow students will show substantial
improvements if given sufficient time has placed unfair
pressure on both students and universities.

The University is, in a sense, a large laboratory for test-
ing the perseverance — sometimes the patience — as well as
the ability of the student, and in this respect it is much
like the outside world in its demands and expectations.

The University of Maryland is committed to the exercise
of the basic freedoms, but it believes just as strongly that
there must be rules and regulations consistent with the
public nature of the institution. It encourages academic
freedom but does not associate this principle with any
right of students to determine academic or non-academic
requirements. It encourages students to participate in the
affairs of the University to the extent of their time, interest
and competence, and in accordance with the University's
statutory organization and duly authorized plan of opera-
tion. This University believes that respect for authority and
law is essential to the development o\' good citizenship and
that the insidious erosion and sometimes outright defiance
oi authority is a dangerous trend in our society. It seems
clear that if any student or group of students is allowed to
seize power in the name of freedom of speech, then the
universities should close their doors before rigor mortis
sets in.

Registration. Lobby of Student Activities Building

This is a typical meeting of the several Chapters which were
convened during the morning session.

J. Logan SchutZ, Director. Office of Alumni Affairs, addresses the
luncheon meeting.

Reunion at College Park

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND ALUMNI TURNED OUT IN
record numbers at College Park May 15 for Spring
Reunion. The annual event sponsored by the Alumni
Association provided alumni both young and old with
a full day of activities.

The program began with registration Saturday morning
at the Student Union followed by chapter meetings in which
officers were elected to guide the alumni activities of the
respective college chapters for the ensuing year. Concur-
rently with registration and chapter meetings, refreshments
were served in the student lounge — providing a focal point
for the renewal of friendships and the exchange of informa-
tion concerning classmates.

Luncheon followed on the lower floor of the Student
Union with the spotlight focused on the five-year class
groups who were seated together. The Abram Z. Gottwals
Memorial Award was presented to two Maryland alumni
for distinguished service to the Alumni Association and
the University of Maryland. President Erna R. Chapman
made the awards to Dr. William H. Triplett, Med '11 and
Dr. A. E. Goldstein, Med '12.

The outstanding male and female senior students in the
College of Education were presented certificates by Mr.
William A. Burslem, Edu '32, President of the Education
Alumni chapter. The recipients were Mrs. Suzanne H.
Hardy and Mr. Charles W. Craft, whose names will also
be engraved on the large alumni plaque to be placed in
the new Education Building.

A highlight of the luncheon program was an outstanding
performance by the Madrigal Singers under the direction
of Professor Rose Marie Grentzer.

In addition to a lacrosse game with Johns Hopkins and
a doubleheader baseball game with Penn State, the after-
noon program included tours of the McKeldin Library
and Center of Adult Education. Following the athletic
events, a large number of alumni returned to the Student
Union lounge to enjoy refreshments and an opportunity to
visit with friends that they may have missed earlier. Two
films were shown in the Student Union auditorium — The
Climate Of Learning, an excellent color film portraying the
scope and distinctions of the University's educational and
research programs with emphasis on the undergraduate
campus at College Park, and Film Highlights Of The 1964
Football Season.

In the evening, the classes of 1920, '25, '35 and '40
held class banquets which were well attended and provided
an evening of fellowship and reminiscing. Climaxing the
day's activities was the excellent student play, Witness
For The Prosecution, which was enjoyed by a large turn-
out of Maryland alumni.

THE DEANS REPORT

TO THE ALUMNI COUNCIL

Each year, the Deans of the various colleges and schools
of the University of Maryland are invited to attend a
ting of the Alumni Council of the Alumni Association
and give a report on the programs, progress and problems
of their colleges and schools. This year's meeting was

February 12 at the Student Union at College Park. A
common point of reference in each of these reports was
the rapid increase in enrollment and the resultant require-
ments of additional faculty members and teaching facilities.
Highlights of their presentations follow.

College of Agriculture

Dean Gordon Cairns re-
ported that two new depart-
ment heads have been ap-
pointed: Dr. Robert W.
Krauss, Department of
Botany and Dr. Francis
C. Stark, Jr., Department
of Horticulture. Recent
changes in curriculum are
proving very satisfactory. A
proposed addition is in
Food Service, developed
jointly with the College of Home Economics. The research
program in the College, the earliest on campus, is con-
tinuing strongly with both State and Federal support.
Basic research is an important part of the activities of the
College as well as the applied research that is associated
with specific problems that may develop within the State.
The Extension Service is being reorganized, and a con-
siderable portion of the work has already been accom-
plished by Dr. Edward W. Aiton. This service is of im-
portance to all the people of the State.

College of Arts and sciences

Dean Charles Manning re-
ported that there have been
several important achieve-
ments in the College of Arts
and Sciences this year.
Among these are the instal-
lation of the Phi Beta Kappa
Chapter, the award of the
new cyclotron by the
Atomic Energy Commis-
sion, and the completion of
the new Fine Arts Build-
ing. He added that the Art Department, under the direc-
tion of the new chairman, Dr. George Levitine, gives
promise of becoming the outstanding art department in
the area. Dean Manning said that the departmental honors
programs have moved ahead strongly, and the University
made it possible to award 24 partial scholarships to selec-
ted senior honors students. Enrollment in the College for
Spring, 1965 was approximately 6,300 students, up from
5,400 a year ago. Perhaps the most significant educational
event is the introduction of the new General Education
Program under the direction of Dr. Gayle Smith.

College of Business
and Public Adminis-
tration Dean Donald W.
O'Connell summarized the
activities in his college. High
points included the inaug-
uration of a new Depart-
ment of Information Sys-
tems Management which
Dean O'Connell enthusi-
astically described as having
been established to provide
an undergraduate major in information systems and to
provide courses for students in other departments whose
studies will be aided by such courses. The Dean pointed
out that two of five of the University's Regents Awards for
Excellence in Teaching went to members of his faculty,
and for the fourth successive time, the Ford Foundation
awarded one of its national Faculty Research Fellowships
to a member of the Department of Economics.

The College has also been cooperating with the Counsel-
ing Center and the Placement and Credential Service in
advancing a program to help academically dismissed stu-
dents find new career paths and opportunities. Finally, in
the field of public service, a specially selected team has
completed The Maryland Tax Study, a large scale analysis
prepared for the Governor's Commission on State and
County Finance.

School of Dentistry

Dean John Salley reported
that the vital statistics for
the academic session of
1964-1965 include: 384
dental students, 15 graduate
students, five postgraduate
students and approximately
100 attending continuing
education courses offered by
the School. He continued
that one of the more im-
portant events of the year
was the celebration by the School of Dentistry of the 125th
Anniversary of its founding as the Baltimore College of
Dental Surgery on March 6, 1840, making it the oldest
dental school in the world. The event was celebrated with
a three-day meeting in Baltimore on March 4, 5 and 6
sponsored jointly by the School and the Dental Alumni

The Maryland Magazine

Association. The meeting brought together outstanding
men in the field of dentistry and higher education. There
were a series of lectures and panel discussions as well as
special luncheons and a banquet to commemorate the
occasion. In addition, plans are progressing for a new
physical facility for the School. The prospect of a new
building and facilities has also involved a re-evaluation and
re-direction of the undergraduate dental curriculum to pro-
vide the student with a better integration of all phases of
his dental education.

College of Education

Dr. L. Morris McClure, As-
sistant Dean, reported for
Dean Vernon Anderson.
The big news in Education
is the construction of a new
building to be open next
Fall. This building will bring
together in one facility for
the first time the entire fac-
ulty of the College, with
the exception of the Indus-
trial Education Department which will remain in its own
building. It will be one of the most modern facilities for
teaching in the East, and among other things will house
the Science Teaching Center. Enrollment in the College has
passed the 3,000 mark with freshman registration up 40
percent over the previous year. Standards have been main-
tained despite the increased enrollment pressures. The
College takes pride in the feeling that the University is
making an increasing contribution to the State in terms
of helping to relieve the shortage of teachers.

Graduai i S< HOOl

Dean Ronald Bamford
ported on ilk growth ol the
Graduate SlIhmiI and ol
U red some comparative
urev In 1920, the Graduate
School awarded one doctoi

ale and two master \ de-
es Anticipated degi
for 1965 are 150 doctorates
and more than odd ma I
degrees. Enrollment in the
School has doubled from

3,000 to more than 6,000 in the past five years. I he doc-
torate is being offered in 36 departments and the master's
in 52 departments.

College of Home Economic s

Dean Selnia l.ippeatt re-
ported that the College is
continuing to work closel)
with its alumni, and that
the alumni are now putting
out their own newsletter.
The College itself is looking
forward to a new Home
Management Building. The
Dean continued that her
College has received two
Public Health Service grants,
and that the curricula of the College is being changed and
improved. Nine night courses are being offered this semes-
ter, and the College has been asked, and is making plans.
for a cooperative venture with Walter Reed Hospital in
its dietary internship program.

College of Engineering

Dean Frederick T. Mavis
reported that the College
enrollment is at an all-time
high, but that it must and
will rise even higher. He
added that the rate of en-
rollment has far outstripped
all national averages. Na-
tional undergraduate en-
rollment in engineering has
increased four percent — at
Maryland it is up 13.9 per-
cent. Freshman enrollment nationwide has increased 10.9
percent — at Maryland it is up 25.8 percent. The total
number of bachelor degrees increased nationwide 5.3 per-
cent — at Maryland 10.9 percent. Dean Mavis commented
on the activities of the Engineering Alumni including the
Bull Roast, FEEDUM, and went on to say that he has
never known such alumni loyalty and devotion. He con-
cluded saying the faculty and student body are of high
quality and that they contribute to an ever-increasing pro-
gram of teaching, research and other scholarly endeavors.

School of Law

Dean William Cunningham
reported that the important
event in the School of Law
is the construction of their
new building, which they
hope to occupy by Septem-
ber. The Dean stressed that
such a facility can be instru-
mental in attracting good
faculty and students. As a
result of the increased space
in the new building, the
School will be able to handle a greater enrollment and
provide more adequate library space. It will also be able
to maintain the increased number o( students at a high
degree of quality. The recently-adopted requirement for
a college degree for admission to the Law School will help
maintain the quality of students. The curriculum is under-
going constant revision with new courses being added to
enrich the background of the student and to better prepare
him for practice.

May-June, 1965

Ol ol \l! DICINE

Dean William S. Stone re-
ported that this has been a
very satisfactory year for
theSchool of Medicine. The
School has an outstanding
student body which has
been able to cope with in-
creasing academic require-
ments. He indicated that the
rapid increase of medical
knowledge makes it difficult
to teach the student every-
thing: however, the School attempts to instill in its stu-
dents a desire to continue to search for information
throughout their lives. Maintenance of a top quality faculty
has been a major objective of the School. The School also
has a substantial research program in every department.
Dean Stone continued that the School is well represented
in a variety of professional organizations.

School of Nursing

Mrs. Lolah Mihm reported
for Dean Florence Gipe.
She stated that there are
529 undergraduate students
enrolled in the School of
Nursing, and 187 enrolled
in the graduate program.
Mrs. Mihm outlined some
of the specialties in nursing
education that are now
available to students. She
also discussed a few of the
grants the School has received for research and teaching.
The highlight of the year has been the celebration of the
75th Anniversary of the School of Nursing under the joint
sponsorship of the school and the Nursing Alumni As-
sociation.

College of Physical Education,
Recreation and Health

Dean Lester Fraley re-
^•v ported that the loss of five

/ A key faculty members had

been a blow to his College,
*/*^ but the work has continued

on a high level. Enrollment
at both the undergraduate
and graduate levels is up,
and with the aid of addition-
al funds, the research pro-
gram is moving forward.
Special committees have
been established for various areas of endeavor, among
them a Committee for Self-evaluation. Steps have been
taken to strengthen the areas of indicated weaknesses in
the College. In spite of many hours of work and the de-
mands on the time of the faculty for committee work, the
quality of instruction remains at a high level. The faculty
members are involved in many research projects, some of
which are being carried out in cooperation with professors
from other University departments.

School of Pharmacy

Dean Noel Foss reported
that enrollment in the
School of Pharmacy is on
the increase again for the
first time since the School
converted to a five-year pro-
gram. The transfer from a
four-year to a five-year pro-
gram naturally created a lag
in graduates until a full
cycle had been achieved.
Again there is an upswing,
and the School will graduate 25 students this year com-
pared to only two last year. Dean Foss also stated that
his School is participating in the Middle States Report, and
he has been working closely in this connection with Dean
Bamford of the Graduate School.

School of Social Work

Dean Verl S. Lewis re-
ported that the School of
Social Work is the fastest
growing school, based on
percentage increase. Within
its four years, the enroll-
ment figures have already
reached those projected for
the ten to twelve-year mark.
The demand on the part of
community social welfare
agencies for trained person-
nel is overwhelming, and pressures for admission to pre-
pare for professional service in social work increase at a
rate exceeding all expectations. Enrollment in the master's
degree program went to more than 100 this year. A begin-
ning has been made to offer urgently-needed courses in
the evening so that social workers may up-date their prac-
tice knowledge. Experimental courses are being offered
for volunteer workers in the field. These activities are con-
tinuing in all areas of the State, and it is hoped that the
School can make a substantial contribution to more effec-
tive service by the State's public welfare agencies.

University College

Dean Ray Ehrensberger
commented on new facilities
of University College in the
Center of Adult Education.
Indicating that it may take
three years for the Center
to realize its potential, the
Dean added that the alumni
are welcome to use the fa-
cilities at any time. Sum-
marizing the overseas ac-
tivities of University Col-
lege, he reported that on many fronts the college is re-
trenching because of the phase-out of many military instal-
lations. This is offset by the increase in enrollment at home.
Over 12,000 students were registered for UC courses last
semester, and evening classes have increased 47 percent
over the previous semester.

^T-'WAS A GLORIOUS SPRING FOR MARYLAND ATHLETES, WITH

X five varsity teams winning nearly 80 percent of their
contests and three of the five copping Atlantic Coast Confer-
ence championships.

As expected, coach Jim Kehoe's track squad set the pace,
with a perfect 1.000 percentage by winning three dual meets
and going on to win the Conference title at Raleigh, in mid-
May. In addition to outclassing the field, the Terrapins pro-
duced seven individual champions and two title-winning relay
quartets.

Sharing honors with the thinclads was Coach Jack Jackson's
baseball team which brought the ACC diamond title to Mary-
land for the first time. The team wound up with a 16-6
overall record (10-4 in the Conference) and compiled a
winning streak of nine straight before a natural let-down
(after winning the ACC) in the closing doubleheader with
Pcnn State. As these lines are written the diamonders are
preparing to compete in the District playoffs at Gastonia,
North Carolina, with an eventual berth in the collegiate world
scries at Omaha. Nebraska, awaiting the winner. Furman,
Southern Conference champion, was the Terps' first foe.

Coach Al Heagy's lacrosse team was the third Conference
champion produced this spring at College Park. The stickmen
compiled an overall record of 11-2, losing only to national
champion Navy (7-13) and runner-up Hopkins (8-11). It
was the first time Maryland had lost to its arch-rival in Balti-
more since I960.

( oach Doyle Royal's tennis team and Frank Cronin's golfers
both had winning seasons. The racketers, 12-2 overall, finished
third in the ACC standings which were determined for the
first time by a Conference tournament in which individual
players met their counterparts of the other teams. The golfers,
si ill unbeaten over their home course where they scored eight
victories and a tie, finished 9-3-1. Their fourth-place standing
in the \< ( was determined at the May tournament at
Pinehurst.

Creating national interest whenever he competed was the
sensational sophomore Frank Costello whose seven-foot high
jump in the IC4A meet in March catapaulted him into the
top three of the world's best high jumpers. Costello came within
a quarter-inch of equalling that mark in the dual meet at
Navy on May 1, later winning the ACC championship with
a leap of 6-10. Many eyes were on him as he competed in the
IC4A outdoor meet at Rutgers the end of May.

Mike Cole, a senior winding up a brilliant track career here,
successfully defended his Conference broad jump title with a
leap of 23-9% . This was more than three inches less than
the distance with which he had won the NCAA indoor champ-
ionship in March — a 25-1 jump. In addition to his specialty,
Cole won the ACC 220-yard dash and ran anchor on the
Terps' record-tying 440-yard relay team.

In addition to Cole and Costello, other Conference track
titles were won by Steve Lamb, who broke an ex-Terp's record
in the 440 with a time of 47.6; Russ White, who hurled the
javelin 239 feet, 5Vi inches — more than 15 feet further than
the former mark; Mike George in the two-mile run and Ram-
say Thomas in the 880. Maryland's 440-yard relay team was
composed of Jack Bickley, Cary Boxer, Lamb and Cole while
its mile relay quartet had Elmore Hunter, Bickley, Ramsay
Thomas and Lamb, running in that order.

The secret for the success of the baseball team lay in the
pitching. With a sophomore southpaw, Jerry Bark of Balti-
more, setting the pace, the pitching staff had a combined
earned run average of 2.38 — classy twirling in anybody's
league. Bark, who won six against two defeats (one of them
a 13-inning game which he lost, 1-0, after hurling nine innings
of hitless ball) topped the regulars with a 1.39 ERA. In addi-
tion, he struck out 102 batters — a record for Maryland pitch-
ers — in the 7114 innings he pitched. Chris Sole, another lefty
from Frederick in his junior year, was the squad's next-best
with a 2.48 ERA, and a 3-1 record. Brad Frost, a third lefty
and another soph from nearby Beltsville, compiled a 4-2
record and an earned run average of 2.57.

The Terps had an outstanding catcher in Steve Sauve, a soph
from Mechanicsburg, who attracted the eyes of big league
scouts from the start. Sauve handled the pitchers in great
style and, although he hit only .254, tied team captain and
second baseman Tom Bichy in scoring with 12 runs and drew
nine walks, most of anyone on the team. Also drawing the
attention of the scouts was sophomore first baseman Larry
Davis who hit .291, including eight doubles. His 23 hits in the

The Maryland Magazine

22 games also was high in that department. Junior outfielder
Bob McCarthy led his team in RBI's with 14. while still an-
other soph, Paul Breslow, stole 21 bases.

Most encouraging is the fact that only one regular, Jon
Kreissig, will be lost by graduation. Now if the scouts will
only stay away from the others with major league potential
the Terps could repeat as champs in 1966!

Although the lacrosse team ended its season on a losing
note, the afternoon of May 15 wasn't a total loss for the
5,500 spectators. In addition to being treated to a rousing
game in which the score was tied on six occasions and the
lead changed hands five times, the fans were treated to an
official induction into the Lacrosse Hall of Fame between
halves. Edwin E. Powell, who started the sport at Maryland
in 1910 and has been called "the father of lacrosse at Mary-
land," was presented with his Hall of Fame certificate by Dr.
Reginal Truitt, who had played lacrosse under him here at
Maryland. Joe Deckman, another Maryland lacrosse great,
presided, as co-chairman of the Hall's selection committee.

Lend an ear now to what my student assistant (and manager
of the wrestling team) Bob Stumplf has to say about his
favorite sport.

Making Maryland history at the 1965 NCAA Wrestling
Tournament was All-American Bob Kopnisky, who hails
from Pittsburgh. Bob became the first Terrapin wrestler to
ever win a NCAA Championship and the only two-year All-
American wrestler.

To win the title in the 157-pound class in the Champion-
ships at Laramie, Wyoming, Kopnisky defeated Bill Lam ol
Oklahoma, 5-4. On Friday night in the semi-finals, he had
beaten Iowa State's defending National Champion Cordon
Hassman, 6-4. Hassman was the only matman to beat Kop-
nisky this year. In the Iowa State-Maryland dual meet Hass-
man won a 5-4 decision.

Prior to this season, the highest a Terp had ever finished was
in 1954, when Ernie Fischer was runner-up in the 167-pound
class.

Bob Kopnisky finished the season with an 8-1-0 dual meet
and a 20-1-0 season record, the second Coast Guard Academy
and third Atlantic Coast Conference Championship. His
varsity career record at Maryland is 32-3-0.

The NCAA victory ends an amazing career for Kopnisky at
Maryland. He twice has been named the Outstanding Wrestler
in the ACC Tournament, in 1963. and this year. Hassman
was the second National Champion Kopnisky has defeated
in three years. As a sophomore he won a 4-3 decision over
Army's two-time NCAA Champ Mike Natvig.

At the recent wrestling team Awards Banquet, Kopnisky
was the recipient of every award offered. Mr. Herbert H.
Goodman of the Terrapin Club presented Bob with the
Herbert H. Goodman Award for the Outstanding Wrestler
of the Year. This was the third time Bob has won this coveted
award. University of Maryland President Dr. Wilson H. Elkins
presented Bob with the Charles Leroy Mackert Award for
the Maryland student who has contributed the most to wres-
tling while at the University.

Then Mr. B. Herbert Brown, member of Board of Regents,
awarded Kopnisky his 1965 All-American certificate and a
scroll done containing the 157-pound NCAA Tournament
brackert chart. Bob also received his third letter and his
graduating senior lettermen's award.

Maryland Governor J. Millard Tawes sent Kopnisky a
personal congratulatory letter on his winning the National
Championship.

Bob is a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity and
Omicron Delta Kappa honorary. Although he will graduate
this year, he won't be leaving the University because he
has already been admitted to graduate school. The Physical
Education major has been married for two years. He and his
wife Virginia became the proud parents of a son on May 10.

Maryland Coach William l "Sully Krouse proudly

quite lull with 4.500 tans, but about a quarter ot them were
routing lor the lerps since five ol the eight-man team were
from Pennsylvania. Alter the meet ( oach Krouse remarked,
"There's only one first and tonight was it!"

When the red and white hosted Navy they scored anothei
lirst. They not only handed the Middies a 17-M defeat, but
also set a new Maryland attendance record with 4.^no
spectators.

Maryland had anothei first when All-American Hob Kop-
nisky became the lirst Terrapin grappler to ever win an N< A \

Championship.

It's not too early to comment on the 1965 football outlook,
especially in view of the varsity's 44- IS rout ol a rather re-
spectable alumni squad in the spring game on May 8. Bo
Hickey. the team's leading ground-gainer as a soph last year,
was up to his old tricks with 85 \ards rushing, and the \arsit\s
defensive unit was impressive in holding the alumni to a net
75 yards on the ground. Maryland's quarterback situation
is still a bit vague, with the sophomore Bill Van Heusen,
apparently Coach Nugent's top choice, hampered by late
spring injuries which prevented him from appearing at his best.
Phil Petry, the number one OB last year, shared the signal-
calling with Jim Corcoran in the spring game. Petry threw a
touchdown pass to Bruce Springer while Corcoran completed
four of six passes for 84 yards and two touchdown tosses.

The announcement that NBC had selected the Maryland-
Perm State game as a national TV game of the week resulted
in the shifting of that contest from the season opener to the
season final on December 4. As a result, the first game next
fall will be with Ohio University, here in Byrd Stadium on
September 25.

Ever attend a basketball game where the loudest and most
energetic cheerleaders were none other than basketball players
themselves? This was the case when Maryland played Na\>
at Cole Field House in January. The "cheerleaders" were ex-
Maryland COUrtmen, invited to the game as special guests ol
assistant athletic director H. A. Millikan. better known as
"Bud" Millikan. the lerps' personable basketball coach.
Afterward a social reunion was held in Coach Millikan's home
for his former pupils and their wives. More than 25 ex- lerps
were present, many from distant states. I hex included Gene
Shue. Maryland's All-American of the early '50s who sub-
sequently played lor ten \ears in the NBA. Others attending
were Gerald Bechtle '60. lee Brawley '52, Ron Brooks '55,

Memorial Day at
Madingley Cemetery

As a tribute to his devoted and out-
standing service while a U.S. Army
Captain during World War II, the
American Overseas Memorial Day As-
sociation invited Mr. Walter B.
Bradley, A & S '37, to lay a wreath and
give an address at the annual observance
of Memorial Day at Madingley Ceme-
tery in London. He attended the cere-
mony as an official representative of The
American Legion.

Now Director of the Walter Brooks
Bradley Funeral Homes in Baltimore,
Bradley received the Legion of Merit
Award in 1946 for outstanding perform-
ance as Commanding Officer at Cam-
bridge American Military Cemetery,
United Kingdom. In 1945 he was
awarded the Bronze Star for meritorious
service as Chief of Graves Registration,
Seine Section, in the European Theatre
ol Operations.

It was his responsibility to maintain
the cemeteries in a high state of effi-
ciency and appearance, and to respect-
fully remove, prepare and inter the
bodies of American, allied and enemy
soldiers killed in action. He was instru-
mental in identifying many Americans
buried as unknowns.

While attending the University, Brad-
ley was a member of Kappa Alpha and
a It. ( ol. in the R.O.T.C. Upon gradua-
tion, he established a mortuary in Balti-
more. He volunteered for active duty
on the second day following Pearl
Harbor and served 37 of 48 months in
Europe commanding and organizing
cemeteries.

Returning home in 1945, he reestab-
lished his business in Baltimore, then
moved to Dundalk with his recently
acquired wife, Mary Virginia Lloyd.
The Bradleys are the parents of one son
and three daughters.

Bradley is a member of The Ameri-
can Legion, Moose, Shrine, Masons,
V.F.W., and is past Chairman of the
Board of the Baltimore Junior Chamber
of Commerce.

The following is excerpted from the
text of the address, "Many Returned,"
which Mr. Bradley delivered on May
30 at Madingley Cemetery in London.

On Memorial Day of 1965, we are
going back to Cambridge, where we
lived and worked so long with death.

We are going to stand on a gentle
slope, facing row upon row of crosses
and stars of David, and we are going to
salute the thousands buried there.

In memory, we shall hear the roar
of bombers and fighters taking off; the
noise of ambulances rushing to meet
those who returned. We shall hear the
crack of rifle fire in a volley for the dead.
And the plaintive notes of "Taps."

In memory, we shall go back twenty-
two years to a bleak December day in
1943, when the outcome of World War
II still hung in the balance.

It was on the second anniversary of
the Pearl Harbor attack that we dedi-
cated, and opened for the first burial, the
American Military Cemetery at Cam-
bridge, England.

The site was two miles west of the
town, near the small village of Mading-
ley, along a ridge line running toward
St. Neots. On a clear day, one could
look north across the fen country and

see the gold-capped spires of Ely Ca-
thedral, thirteen miles away.

Though the site
was notable for its
natural beauty, it
also was chosen
for a practical
purpose, being
close to the
United States
Eighth (bomber)
and Ninth (fight-
er) Air Force
Bases.

In those days, uncertainty was our
constant companion. One never knew,
when the planes took off, how many
would return. One never knew how
many of those courageous young airmen
would return in death.

But we constantly kept 100 graves
open. And we filled them. Eventually,
we were to bury more than 6,000 Ameri-
cans in that bit of adopted soil.

Every day, week after week, the
routine was the same. There were days
filled with shocking noise, relieved by
tense stillness which brought no relief
at all.

In the early morning, on clear days,
the planes would roar away from their
fields, bound on missions over Europe.
When the last one had gone, the heavens
were quiet again.

It was wait, wait, wait, until once
again we could hear the increasing drum
of approaching motors. Then wheels
screamed as ambulances sped out to
meet the homing airmen.

It was still again, very still, while the
sad roll was tallied. Afterwards, the am-
bulances rolled silently to the cemetery.
Only the subdued voices of the Chap-
lains, the rifle volley, the bugle notes,
intruded on the quiet there.

Truly, we hope, our dead rest in
peace.

Grant to Social Work

Dean Verl S. Lewis recently an-
nounced an award by the U. S. Chil-
dren's Bureau to the University of
Maryland School of Social Work for a
teaching grant of $56,236 to help more
students prepare for careers in child
welfare.

Dean Lewis said the grant will be
particularly valuable to the school in
making it possible to add a child wel-
fare specialist to the faculty and to
launch an experimental program to train
child welfare workers for inner city
neighborhoods. It includes provision
for ten traineeships valued at $2,350

The school is already engaged in com-
munity organization instruction pre-
paring students to work with the poor in
urban neighborhoods, and this week
opened the nation's first major training

Professor Appointed to
Project Head Start

Dr. James L. Hymes, Jr., Chairman of
the Early Childhood Education Depart-
ment at the University since 1957, has
been named to a 14-member steering
committee for Project Head Start.

The pre-school program, part of the
Office of Economic Opportunity anti-
poverty effort, is aimed at helping chil-
dren of needy families to compete suc-
cessfully with their more fortunate class-
mates when they start kindergarten or
first grade.

The response from American com-
munities which want to operate Project
Head Start programs this summer has
been so great that the Federal funds
for the programs have been tripled,
bringing the total appropriation to about
$50 million, with an average cost per
child of $85 a month.

Dr. Hymes has been a Research As-
sistant at the Child Development Insti-
tute at Columbia University, an As-
sistant State Supervisor of Works Project
Administration nursery schools in New
York State; Director of the Hession
Schools, Croton-on-Hudson, New York;
Chairman of the Child Services Depart-
ment, Kaiser Company, Inc., Portland,
Oregon; Professor at New York State
College, New Paltz; and Professor at
George Peabody College for Teachers,
Nashville, Tennessee.

He is a graduate of Harvard (B.A.)
and Teachers College, Columbia Uni-
versity (M.A. and Ed.D. ). He is the
author of six adult books, including
Understanding Your Child, five chil-
dren's books, and eight pamphlets. For
two years he conducted the television
program The Story of Man.

Dr. Hymes is a native of New York,
is married and the father of two girls
and a boy.

Dr. John Gardner to
Advise U.S. Foreign
Assistance Program

Dr. John Gardner, II. D. "56, has been
named as a member of the General Ad-
visory ( ommittee on Foreign Assistance
Programs. I he appointment of Dr.
Gardner was recently announced by
President Lyndon B. Johnson.

The President told Committee mem-
bers at their first meeting at the White
House on March 26, that the govern-
ment "is in constant need of new ideas
and mature judgment from private
citizens" to help it devise "the most
effective and most efficient assistance
programs" possible. The President urged
the Committee to study the programs
both in the United States and abroad
and "to satisfy yourselves and to satisfy
me that every potentially useful idea is
examined and that we are making the
best use of every potential resource" in
assisting the developing countries.

Dr. Gardner is President of Carnegie
Corporation.

Chemistry Alumni Meet

Forty-eight Chemistry alumni and fac-
ulty were present at the University of
Maryland Alumni Luncheon at Detroit,
Michigan on April 7. The luncheon was
held at the Pic Fort Shelby Hotel in
connection with the Spring meeting of
the American Chemical Society. The
next meeting will be at Atlantic City
early in September.

Electrodeposition Award
Won by Dr. Abner Brenner

Dr. Abner Brenner, Ph.D. '39, Chief
of the Electrolysis and Metal Deposition
Section at the National Bureau of Stand-
ards, has received the William Blum
Award of the Electrochemical Society.
He was honored for his outstanding con-
tributions to the field of electrodeposi-
tion. The Award was presented by Dr.
Gilbert Castellan, Professor of Chem-
istry at the Catholic University of
America and president of the local sec-
tion of the Electrochemical Society.

The Award is presented biennially to
a member of the Washington-Baltimore

Section of the Society for unusual con-
tributions to the field. Established in
1959, the Award was named after its
first recipient. Dr. William Blum, a for-
mer Chief of the NBS Electrolysis
Section. At the time of his retirement.
Dr. Blum was a world authority on
electrodeposition and had made pioneer-
ing contributions toward elevating elec-
trodeposition from an art to a science.
Dr. Brenner, the fourth recipient of
the Award, was born in Kansas City,
Missouri, in 1908. He received his B.A.
from the University of Missouri, his
M.S. from the University of Wisconsin,
and his Ph.D. from the University of
Maryland. He joined the Bureau staff
in 1930 and became Chief of the Elec-
trolysis and Metal Deposition Section
in 1952. He has received awards from
the Electrochemical Society, the Amer-
ican Electroplaters Society, the Institute
of Metal Finishing in London, and the
U. S. Department of Commerce. He
has published over 70 papers including
a two-volume text, Electrodeposition of
Alloys, and has received 19 patents.

Ambassador Bruce to
Receive Honorary Degree

The Hon. David K. E. Bruce, School
of Law, '20-22, will be honored on
June 30, when Princess Margaret, Chan-
cellor of Keele University, will confer
an honorary degree of doctor of lit-
erature on the United States Ambas-
sador to Britain.

Bruce is one of seven recipients to be
honored at a special ceremony in the
West Midland pottery district univer-
sity. Keele University was founded in
1949.

Ambassador Bruce has been United
States Ambassador to Great Britain
since 1961.

Born in Baltimore on Feb. 12, 1898,
he attended Princeton University, but
left during his sophomore year to serve
in World War I. In 1917 he joined the
U. S. Army as a private in the Field
Artillery, and in 1919 became a second
lieutenant.

After two and one half years in the
Army, Bruce attended the law schools
of the University of Virginia and the
University of Maryland. He was ad-
mitted to the Bar of the State of Mary-
land in 1921 and entered private prac-
tice in Baltimore. In 1924 he became a
member of the Maryland House of Del-
egates and in 1925 entered the United
States Foreign Service.

Foreign service interspersed with
state government and private industry
has highlighted the brilliant career of
this statesman. His fellow alumni take
great pride in the honor to be bestowed
upon him by Princess Margaret and
Great Britain.

The Maryland Magazine

Alumnus Named University Photographer of the Year

Al Danegger, H.Ec. '50, and head of the
University's Photographic Section, has
been named "University Photographer
of the Year" by the University Pho-
tographers Association. The award was
presented at the Association's fourth
Annual Conference in April, and recog-
nizes Danegger for "outstanding per-
ception and ability to produce photo-
graphs of the highest quality."

Danegger became university photog-
rapher 15 years ago after receiving
his degree in art. He taught photo-
journalism as an Assistant Professor
from 1952 to 1958. Today the Photo
Section has three full-time staff mem-
bers and employs up to 15 student as-

sistants. A photo-history of the Uni-
versity is contained in the 800. 000 nega-
tives in the Section's file.

As the above pictures show, assign-
ments take the university photographer
to all parts of the world. As faculty ad-
visor for the "Flying Follies," Danegger
accompanied the group on several over-
seas tours. Assignments and personal
trips furnish the material for his popular
and frequent slide-talks on travel and
photography.

A recipient of the Oscar Fisher
Award for "Outstanding Service to Pro-
fessional Photography," Danegger is
editor of a newsletter for college and
university photographers and editors

and a member and National Committee
Chairman of the National Press Pho-
tographers Association. He is presently
Chairman of the Faculty ( ommittee

tor the Catholic Student ( enter, a mem-
ber of the Advisors ( ommittee to the
State Deparment of Economic Develop-
ment for Maryland, a member of the
Board of Directors and immediate
past President of the Maryland Indus-
trial Photographic Association, Council
Member-at-large of the American Youth
Hostels, industrial consultant to Pro-
jection Optics, and consultant on gov-
ernmental photography.

Commerce Gold Medal
Awarded to Dr. Alldredge

Dr. Leroy R. Alldredge, Ph.D., Physics
'55, of Mesa, Arizona, was awarded
U. S. Department of Commerce Gold
Medal, its highest honor, for "rare and
outstanding contributions of major sig-
nificance" to the Department and the
Nation. Alldredge is a geophysicist in
the Coast and Geodetic Survey, a bu-
reau of the Commerce Department. He
recently received a Presidential Citation
in recognition of outstanding work in
the Bureau.

Both honors were conferred for de-
signing new equipment which makes it
possible to build and operate magnetic
observatories at substantial reductions
in cost. As a result, the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, which heretofore has
operated only two magnetic observa-
tories in the conterminous United States,
is now planning to establish four or five
new observatories during the next dec-
ade at an estimated saving of at least
$80,000 in the construction of each fa-
cility and $8,000 annually in its opera-
tion.

The new equipment designed by All-

dredge is known as an Automatic Stand-
ard Magnetic Observatory (ASMO).
This, together with a digital computer,
collects data on the earth's magnetic
field and transcribes it into a usable
form almost immediately. It eliminates
the need for human, on-the-spot ob-
servations, as well as future computa-
tions, of the data. The elimination of
the time-consuming, error-prone ele-
ment allows substantial increases in rate
and accuracy of data collection and
conversion into usable form, at a re-
duced cost in manpower and buildings.
Prior to joining the Coast and Geo-
detic Survey five years ago, he was as-
sociated with the Operations Research
Office of Johns Hopkins University.

Alumnus Represents
Governor, Mayor at
Churchill Funeral

James M. Swartz, Agr. '17, and Pres-
ident of Mano Swartz Fur Companj .
Baltimore, was the representative of
Governor Tawes and Mayor McKeldin
at the funeral of Sir Winston Churchill
in London.

Mr. Swartz recounts impressions and
experiences in London at this most
solemn time in a letter appearing in
"Voice of the People," Baltimore New s
American, April 17.

"I was privileged to attend the re-
ligious service in all its grandeur and
reverence. There I saw dignitaries who
had come from all over the world to
pay their respects to human greatness.
Their dress was different; their emotion
and their bearing were the same. . . .

"I left the Cathedral on foot to fol-
low the casket from Saint Paul's to
Waterloo Station.

"The streets were roped off and som-
ber. People stood in the same stance as
the Royal Navy officers who had
guarded him in Westminster Hall. I he
horses trod lightly. Big Ben was silent.
London seemed to hold its breath at
his passing.

"I went for a last time to stand in
front of 28 Hyde Park Gate, the modest
house in which he had lived, Always

before, it had seemed to vibrate with the
beat of the great heart within. But now
that heart had ceased its labors, and
there was nothins: at all."

luntary AFROTC
Programs Nov* in Effect

l ill, l University oi

ipplicants for

•ur-year voluntarj

.us training programs (AF-

u | ..i College Park. Compulsory

KOK training at Maryland has been

mtinued.

Hv.th of the new voluntary programs

prepare qualified university students for

commissions in the U. S. Air Force

upon graduation.

Under the ROTC Vitalization Act

of 1964. Congress has made provision
initially tor 1.000 scholarships. Only
ROTC students in the four-year pro-
gram are eligible for these scholarships.
I he Act provides for a ceiling of 5,500
scholarships by 1970-71.

The scholarships cover tuition, books,
fees, supplies, and equipment, plus $50
a month (for ten months) stipend.
Plans call for the scholarships to be
distributed among the nation's colleges
and universities offering AF-ROTC.

Scholarship applicants will be rated
on the basis of the AF Officer Qualify-
ing Test scores, college grades and a
personal interview. AF-ROTC head-
quarters officials at Maxwell AFB will
make the final selection.

Under the two-year program, eval-
uation of candidates is begun at the end
of the freshman year, since each stu-
dent must meet physical and mental
standards. Students completing two
years of college and meeting these stand-
ards must attend a six-week field train-
ing course at a designated AF base dur-
ing the summer preceding initial entry
into the two-year advanced academic
portion. Students completing their
sophomore year who desire to enter the
two-year program this fall must apply
before April 15.

Training in the four-year program is
divided into two phases, basic and ad-
vanced. The basic, or general military
course, will be offered during the first
two years followed by the advanced two-
year professional officers course. Stu-
dents under the four-year program will
be required to attend four weeks of
summer training at an active AF base
during the summer after completing the
junior year.

Non-scholarship volunteers in both
programs will receive a stipend of $40 a
month during the advanced training
program of both plans.

Col. Vernon H. Reeves, University of
Maryland professor of air science, said
recently that college students should
consider officer training "a privilege and
an honor."

"By enrolling in the AF-ROTC pro-
gram the student is neither required
nor permitted to sacrifice any part of
the full measure and worth of his col-
lege education," he said.

"By failing to take advantage of the
ROTC program a student would be
lessening his opportunity of serving as
an officer, since the ROTC is the pri-
mary source of officers and the trend
is away from granting commissions
through officer candidate programs," he
concluded.

High school students who are ad-
mitted to the University of Maryland
before July 31 can register for these
AF-ROTC programs during freshman
orientation this summer. Other students
can volunteer during registration in the
fall.

Space Sciences Building
Now Under Construction

Ground has been broken for the Uni-
versity's $1.5 million Space Sciences
Building at College Park.

Attorney General Thomas B. Finan,
representing Governor J. Millard Tawes,
headed a group of distinguished sci-
entists from the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration and Mary-
land officials who participated in the
ceremony. President Wilson H. Elkins,
Board of Regents Vice-Chairman Ed-
ward Holter, and Dr. Monroe H. Mar-
tin, head of the University's Institute for
Fluid Dynamics and Applied Math-
ematics, represented the University.

Financed by a grant from NASA,
the building will provide 77,043 square
feet for the research activities of the
Institute for Fluid Dynamics and Ap-
plied Mathematics, the space science
program of the Department of Physics
and Astronomy, and a portion of the
Computer Science Center.

Dr. Martin said recently that the new
facility would enable the University to
intensify research in these areas.

"The University of Maryland has for
more than a decade conducted the-
oretical and experimental research in
various areas of space science including
magnetohydrodynamics, fluid dynamics,
applied mathematics, cosmc rays, in-
terplanetary mediums, plasmas, and the
upper atmosphere," he said.

"We look forward to benefits of mu-
tual cooperation between the University
and NASA that this new facility will
afford and the vast opportunities that
it will open up for both students and
faculty," he concluded.

The six-floor building is being built
east of the Computer Science Center at
a site near Stadium and Regents Drives
in Georgian colonial style brick ex-
terior with limestone walls and rein-
forced concrete frame. Architect is
Johannes and Murray and Associates,
Silver Spring. The builder will be Klein
Construction Company, also of Silver
Spring.

The new facility will be located with-
in one-half block of the University's
Institute of Molecular Physics, Depart-

ment of Physics and Astronomy, De-
partment of Chemistry, Department of
Mathematics and College of Engineer-
ing.

A unique feature of construction will
be a provision for each floor to support
250 pounds per square-foot so that
heavy research equipment can be in-
stalled. The usual weight support pro-
vision ranges from 75 to 100 pounds
per square-foot. The research laborator-
ies will be built in the center core of
each floor and will be surrounded by
faculty offices on the outer perimeter.

VISTA Corpsmen
Train in Baltimore

More than 400 volunteers in the war
against poverty are being trained in
Baltimore at the University of Mary-
land School of Social Work over the
next 16 months in preparation for as-
signments in the new VISTA program
(Volunteers in Service to America),
which has often been likened to a do-
mestic Peace Corps.

The VISTA program is conducted by
the Office of Economic Opportunity,
which was established by the 1964 Eco-
nomic Opportunity Act of the U. S.
Congress.

A $485,837 contract with the Office
of Economic Opportunity is enabling
the School of Social Work to train
eight groups of 60 VISTA volunteers
each. Dr. Daniel Thursz, Associate Pro-
fessor of Social Work, is project direc-
tor.

The School of Social Work's training
center is the first permanent VISTA
training institution. Short term training
programs elsewhere have prepared vol-
unteers for work in depressed rural com-
munities, Indian reservations, and mi-
grant worker camps, but training here
will emphasize work in urban projects.

During their stay in Baltimore, vol-
unteers are devoting half their time to
working directly with the poor in Balti-
more City, in cooperation with public
and private social agencies. Under su-
pervision of the School's faculty, vol-
unteers are carrying out jobs similar to
assignments they will undertake full-
time for the remainder of their year of
service.

They are helping, for example, needy
families get financial aid, and initiating
tutoring programs, recreational projects
and cooperative arrangements for care
of preschool children during the day.

The program, planned by Dr. Thursz
and Dean Lewis, allows for flexibility
and experimentation. "Many of the jobs
volunteers can do have not yet been
tried," Dr. Thursz said. "We intend to
assign volunteers in training to such
jobs. Not only will this be valuable ex-
perience for them but it will demon-
strate the value of volunteer assistance
to the agencies cooperating with us."

The Maryland Magazine

A Student's View

Bv Roy Eales, '66

Beginning next
semester the in-
firmary staff will
no longer get the
writer's cramp
and the ROTC Chiefs will no longer
have to face freshmen ( infirmary ex-
cuses in hand) and cry "Excuses, ex-
cuses." No sir. ROTC will serve only
those who want to be served. Two vol-
untary programs, two-year and four-
year, will prepare students for com-
missions in the U. S. Air Force upon
graduation.

On the subject of excuses, professors
are discovering extraordinary imagina-
tive power among students who have
been called nothing but fact-bags. One
student after missing an exam told his
professor he was born in the Okeefeno-
kee Swamp and often suffered attacks
of malaria. Thus, at the time of the
exam it is assumed he was in a very
sweaty state and unable to transport
himself to the classroom. From the
same Diamondback report comes the
case of the student who learned of his
having TB just around exam time. The
lad, discovering he had only four
months to live, felt the need for know-
ing all about Saturn's Rings and the
other astronomicalities quickly diminish.

But for students who do face blue-
books, which by the way are now
yellow, Dr. Lester M. Dyke, director
of health services, has offered some ad-
vice. Pills and loss of sleep make a
student jittery, he says. Cramming will
not do unless the student has kept up
with his studies. And to keep up with
them he must study till 10:30 p.m. and
wake up at 5:30 a.m. at which time he
will retain more. Well it seems two
students may have had Dr. Dyke in
mind, with some improvisations of their
own, when they took their blankets to
the front of the McKeldin library and
there slept the night on the Mall. But,
no, after thinking it over this writer
decided against their wanting to be first
in the line to the library bookshelves.
For it was later revealed that sleepers
Chet Wolford and Fred Yaffe were
demonstrating in favor of students doing
push-ups and other exercises to improve
stamina. The two were motivated to the
cold and puddles by refusal of the
Physical Education department to let
Chet take a camping course. Nothing
has since been heard of the two chaps,
so it seems their fitness was not im-
paired by the moonlight kip.

A soft bed then it's been shown, one
can live without. But food, that's diff-
erent — or is it? Recently 20 students
gave up the eating habit. "We want
to stimulate minds — we want the apa-

thetic to rail) to the cause." said one
of the "fast for peace" students, hei
stomach empty. I he cause.' fo protest
U. S. policy in Vietnam. Hut apparently
the apathetic did not rally to the cause
since Macke's honey-buns did the same
roaring trade. Maybe to stimulate minds
the peace workers should have given
away donuts and coffee— though an
analogy between the donut and the
apathetic minds is not intended.

About the same time the apathetic
were eating, another character appeared
in front of McKeldin library. At 900
pounds it seems he would be a likely
candidate for a physical fitness dem-
onstration. But being a brass turtle.
Testudo wants none of it. In I act.
though it's taken him years to gel from
Byrd Stadium to the McKeldin library
Testudo shows no embarrassment over
his weight. Testudo originally turned up
at the Ritchie Coliseum in 1933. He
probably got fed up with the music there
for he soon took off to Byrd Stadium
on a football scholarship. Even so, our
University mascot never graduated,
which might be the reason for his day-
in day-out hanging around the library
picking the brains of anyone near. Who
knows? He never says anything.

But there was one visitor here who
had a lot to say. Apart from not
having turtles as mascots, most Russian
universities give their students money,
said the Soviet attache speaking to a
Student Union audience. It provides
him with a decent standard of living,
the east European gent added, and
what's more when vacation time comes
trade unions give students rooms in
rest homes and sanitoriums. Could this
be a system for us to follow? Certainly
a great incentive for our students to
glide peacefully through the fall semes-
ter after a summer of loving care. But
no, that's not the answer, for two prob-
lems can be foreseen: one, the students
might not come back to school; and
two, the sanitoriums and rest homes
might find it psychologically necessary
to keep too many students in. Is there
anything the Russians can teach us?

Still on a European note, the cast of
University Theatre's Anything Goes
finds our branch in Germany serving
wine and wallop. In fact, since it's
mentioned, there isn't a student union
anywhere in Europe which doesn't
have a pub. Students and faculty are
often seen mingling over pints in all
kinds of uninhibited discussion. Over
there, they say this kind of relationship
adds a little spirit to a university. "Our
students are assumed to have some
ideas on maturity and responsibility,"
says a British visitor to College Park.
Well it all sounds very nice, but our
system at Maryland is much less dubi-
ous — that is, the system where faculty
and students meet every month or so
at a coffee-hour. Time being almost
consumed completely by hourlies. term-

the Diamondback, volunteers will gel a

people and not threaten to sue.

Well now, if you do happen to have
your car towed away you might feel
somewhat heated, but a shower may
help. Some people though don't need
inspiration from others to keep clean
Take the case of University student
Mark Dubinsky. Now here's a lad
studied part-time in a shower. His fra-
ternity had told Mark it would donate
a dollar to Campus Chest lor every hour
he spent wet. After 102 soaking hours.
Mark broke the world record for such
things and added SI 02 to Phi Sigma
Delta's collection for the Campus Chest.
Mark left the shower, which now bears
his name, saying he had become bored.
He said he played cards, studied and
read but had trouble keeping his books
dry. Well that's one way to soak up
knowledge and help others at the same
time.

The girls of Cumberland Hall North
dorm, originally an old male dorm,
are to be evicted next semester.
This decision, which will break up the
only dorm of its kind on the campus.
has made the girls "most unhappy."
Major reason for the unhappiness is
that the Cumberland Hall South dorm
is full of boys, who according to the
Dean of Women's office "would very
much like to have their North dorm
back." Strange fellows.

There's a final note on eviction. The
area fire department has burned foot-
ball coach Tom Nugent's house which
stood near the infirmary. It will be re-
placed with an addition to H. J. Patter-
son Hall. The coach has been moved to
another house, of course, but he almost
did not make it. For the burning, orig-
inally planned for an earlier date, was
cancelled when it was discovered that
no one had informed the coach o\ the
impending conflagration. ,.**

$2.2 Million Low Bid
Accepted for UMBC

A bid of $2,213,800 has been accepted
for the construction of the first three
buildings of the new Catonsville cam-
pus.

I he John K. Ruff Construction Com-
pany of Baltimore was the low bidder
of nine firms submitting figures to Mr.
Albert Backhaus, head of the Depart-
ment of Public Improvements.

Construction will start immediately
after approval by the University's Board
of Regents and the Maryland Board of
Public" Works.

The largest structure, the academic
building, will house classrooms, lab-
oratories, most faculty offices, and the
library facilities. The other two build-
ings are a lecture hall and a multi-
purpose building containing indoor
physical education facilities, space for
student activities, and a cafeteria.

The work will be finished by the
summer of 1966. In September, 1966,
the campus will admit 500 freshmen,
all commuters.

I he new buildings will exhibit a more
contemporary architecture than those
at College Park. Dr. Albin O. Kuhn,
who will become Vice President for the
Baltimore ( ity and County Campuses
on July 1. stated, "We felt that UMBC
should not copy the architecture of
College Park, but should have a dis-

Caseworkers Instructed
in School of Social Work

The University of Maryland School
of Social Work has initiated instruction
to a class of caseworkers of the Al-
legany and Garrett County Welfare
Boards during the spring term. The
new course, "Family Life and Social
Functioning," will be taught in Cumber-
land by Mrs. Bryce W. Shoemaker, who
has been appointed lecturer on the fac-
ulty of the School of Social Work —
the newest of the university's six profes-
sional schools.

Mrs. Shoemaker is a graduate of the
University of Illinois, where she was
a member of Phi Beta Kappa. She was
awarded a master's degree in social
work by the University of Pennsylvania.
She later studied psychology at the Uni-
versity of Edinburgh, and is a candidate
for the doctor of social work degree at
the University of Pennsylvania.

The new course is part of a state-
wide staff development program in
which the university and the State De-
partment of Public Welfare are co-

-*V

operating. Dean Verl S. Lewis of the
university's School of Social Work and
State Welfare Director Raleigh Hobson
expect that other courses designed to
assist staff members of social welfare
agencies will also be made available.

Instruction is now being offered not
only to public welfare workers in Cum-
berland but in Westminster, Baltimore,
College Park, and in Chestertown and
Salisbury on the Eastern Shore.

Maryland Article Published
in Congressional Record

"The Politics of National Greatness,"
by Professor Franklin L. Burdette, which
appeared in the March-April, 1965 issue
of The Maryland Magazine, was re-
printed in The Congressional Record
on April 29, 1965 (pp. 8650-51) at the
request of Senator Daniel B. Brewster
(D.. Md.).

In his statement to the members of
the Senate, Senator Brewster com-
mented, "Professor Burdette is a recog-
nized authority, and I am confident that

The Maryland Magazine

his comments on the current political
scene will be of interest to my colleagues
in the Senate."

Dr. Burdette is Director of the Bu-
reau of Governmental Research at the
University, where he has taught since
1947. He was Chief of the Information
Center Service, U. S. Information Agen-
cy from 1954-56 and is the author of

Parties: An American Way.

Alumnus is Author of
High School Study Text

Dr. George Weigand, ph.d. '51, di-
rector of counseling and guidance at
East Carolina College since September
of 1963, has published a textbook, How
to Succeed in High School for Barron's
Educational Series.

The new textbook, which draws a dis-
tinct line between true learning and
mere course-passing, is scheduled for
release this Spring. It will be available
in cloth-bound and paperback editions.

Primary emphasis in Dr. Weigand's
new text is on the difference between
the high school student who is genuinely
successful and the one who studies only
to pass examinations and courses.

Three previous Weigand textbooks
are: College Orientation, How to Study
and Like It, and How to Take Exam-
inations.

Dr. Weigand came to ECC from the
University of Maryland, where he was
director of intermediate registration. A
former track coach, he has been an in-
structor at Virginia Military Institute in
Lexington and at West Nottingham
Academy, Colora, Maryland.

In Memoriam

Funeral services for Dr. William Kel-
so White, m.d. '02, Baltimore physician
whose 54-year practice was interrupted
only by three years in World War I,
were held at St. Michael's and All
Angels Episcopal Church on March 3.

Dr. White, who retired from active
practice nine years ago, died at the
Perry Point Veterans Hospital at the
age of 87.

During World War I, he served in the
University of Maryland's Medical Corps
in France, returning to Baltimore after
the war with the rank of major.

He had been company physician for
the Equitable Life Insurance Company
for 35 years and for the Monumental
Life Insurance Company for 25 years
before his retirement.

Dr. White was a native Baltimorean,
graduated from the Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity in 1900 and the University of
Maryland Medical School two years
later.

Most of his medical practice had
been done from his office in his home,
3005 St. Paul Street.

He belonged to the Medical and Chi-
rurgical Faculty of Maryland, the Bal-
timore City Medical Association and
the Sprint Club of the University of
Maryland Medical School.

Surviving are his wife, the former
Charlotte Cain; three children, Wood-
ward Walton White, Mrs. H. Richard
Lee and William Kelso White, Jr.; a
sister, Mrs. Grace E. Johnson; one

Dr. Frank L. Black, Pharm. D. '04,
who gave sixty years to the elevation
of his profession, died September 10,
1964, at the age of 82.

After graduating from the City Col-
lege, he earned his Doctor of Pharmacy
degree at the Maryland College of
Pharmacy in 1904, and became a regis-
tered pharmacist shortly thereafter.

His only job had been with the firm
of Hynson, Westcott & Dunning, Inc.
He entered their employ May 28, 1898,
as a general utility boy.

He advanced to general manager of
the retail department, which he held for
more than 35 years. He was vice pres-
ident of the firm when he went into
semi-retirement several years ago.

His entire life had been devoted to
the advancement of the profession of
pharmacy.

As Dr. H. A. B. Dunning, one of the
outstanding figures in the world of
pharmacy, said of Dr. Black at a 1955
alumni banquet, at which the Honored
Alumnus Award was bestowed upon
him, "there has not been in pharmacy
a better exponent of the best public re-
lations than Frank Black. He is prob-
ably better known and perhaps better
liked by the members of his own pro-
fession than any other pharmacist with-
in the state of Maryland and is highly
regarded by them.

"From the time of Osier down to
now, Frank has contacted and served
most of the distinguished members of
the medical profession — Johns Hopkins
Medical School and the University of
Maryland in particular, most of the
dentists, nurses, and representatives of
other health activities and, of course,

The Maryland Magazine

members of other professions and the
public in general. He acquired the re-
spect and good will of all of those
whom he served."

A member of the Maryland Phar-
maceutical Association for more than
40 years, he served as its president in
1943-44; Treasurer of the Baltimore Re-
tail Druggists Association; President of
the Alumni Association, University of
Maryland; President of the Baltimore
Alumni Association of the University
of Maryland; and had served on num-
erous committees in each of the or-
ganizations. He was also a member of
the American Pharmaceutical Associa-
tion, the Baltimore Veteran Druggists
Association, the Wedgewood Club and
the Fifteen Club. His activities included
leadership in the Kelly Memorial Build-
ing Fund and the Baltimore Drug Ex-
change.

Dr. Black married the former Miss
Alice Evelyn Richter in 1909.

In 1948, when he had completed his
fiftieth year with Hynson, Westcott and
Dunning, Inc., he was presented with
the diamond emblem of the firm, along
with many other tributes.

At the time of his death, he was
Treasurer Emeritus of the Baltimore
Metropolitan Pharmaceutical Associa-
tion, a position he held since January
1954.

Dr. Black is survived by a niece, Mrs.
Charlotte Clarks, and a nephew, Mr.
James Black.

tones of men and the lighter tones of
women with fidelity. This is why you
can always recognize a familiar voice
over the phone.

Your telephone's wide tonal range
offers other communications possibili-
ties as well.

One of these is a portable unit which
doctors can use to transmit an on-the-

spot electrocardiogram of the heart
from a patient's home phone. The
'"E-K-G" signals are converted to tones
which are sent over the phone line to
a hospital for study by a specialist. The
diagnosis can then be telephoned back
to the doctor.

Another probability is that someday
you may pay bills by phone. You will
simply insert special plastic cards into
a telephone set that dials automatically,
and then detail the dollars and cents
by pushing numbered Touch-Tone®
buttons. In this way you will ring your
bank's computer, identify your ac-
count with a code number, and tell the

computer whom to pay and how much.
Your bank will do the rest.

In fact, the things your phone can
do for you. just by basically being a
phone, are still not fully explored.

Its ability to transmit the tones es-
sential to such data communications
as the "E-K-G" and the bill payment
suggests many remarkable new uses
for your telephone line.

Our engineers are working on them.
As its future unfolds, day by day, your
telephone line will surely become more
personally yours than it is even now
. . . one of your most useful aids.

Our 154th Commencement

|_T'S A GREAT DAY!" BEAMED VICE PRESIDENT HUBERT H. HUMPHREY, AS HE STEPPED

from his limousine at Cole Field House on Saturday, June 5. His exclamation both de-
scribed the late Spring morning and aptly expressed the sentiments of nearly 17,000
persons gathered at the College Park Campus for the University of Maryland's 154th
Commencement Exercises.

Promptly at 10 a.m., to the strains of "March" from Mozart's The Magic Flute, a
record class of 4,301 filed four.abreast through congratulatory sunshine to their seats
in the fieldhouse. Inside, an audience of more than 12,500 proud parents, relatives
and friends watched as the solemn, yet festive, procession filled the flag-draped plat-
form and row upon row of chairs.

The Reverend William C. Tepe, Catholic Chaplain at the University, gave the Invo-
cation, and persona] greetings were extended to the graduates by J. Millard Tawes.
Governor of Maryland and Mr. Charles P. McCormick, Chairman of the University's
Board of Regents.

Special music for the ceremonies, furnished by the Combined University Choral
Groups under the direction of Mr. Fague K. Springmann, included Gloria, by Mo/art.
and Waring's moving arrangement of The Battle Hymn of the Republic.

In the principal address, Vice President Humphrey considered the question: "How
can we conserve most effectively the human resources of America'.'"

"We can no longer afford the luxury of squandering . . . human resources through
poverty, disease, illiteracy, unemployment or discrimination," he said. "The simple
truth is this: America needs everybody in the difficult business of making democracy
work. And — for the first time in recorded history — we possess the economic wealth
and the intellectual attainment required to make every American a lull partner in this
noble enterprise."

July- August, 1965

: . cii I rights issue, Mr. Humphrey

He the press has told of instances where

thwart the (1964 Civil Rights) Law,

ias been the far greater evidence of wide-

.e in all sections of the country."

it paid tribute to the "many brave and

-both black and white . . . willing to

..ometimes lose their lives, in carrying

It upon the barriers of legalized dis-

Their actions,*' he said, "have demonstrated

in this country and around the world that

i lives here. They have shown us again that the

st for freedom is the strongest and most compelling

force in the world."'

I he challenge to America now, he said, is one of
complementing the reality of 'equal rights' with the atti-
tude of equal respect' among all peoples and races in
America, to discover whether or not American Negroes
and other minority groups can now be brought fully into
the mainstream of our political, economic and social life."
'The accomplishments of Negroes have been obscured
by false history," the Vice President asserted. "And this
misleading and misread historical record has played its
part in discouraging a climate of equal respect among peo-
ples of all races."

Listing some Negro accomplishments, Mr. Humphrey
noted that:

□ Negroes participated in the exploration of the New
World, "not simply as slaves, as our youngsters are taught,
but just as frequently as soldiers and sailors, as Jesuit mis-
sionaries and as free settlers."

□ Twenty-six of the forty-four settlers who established
San Francisco in 1781 were Negro.

□ Chicago was founded by a French-educated Negro
who left New Orleans because of job discrimination.

□ Thirty thousand Negroes "fought shoulder to shoul-
der with General Washington in our War for Independ-
ence."

□ The technique of blood transfusions was perfected by
a Negro doctor, Charles Drew.

Humphrey asked his audience, "Will we be able ever
to calculate the loss to America — and to the entire world
— of the potential talent among our Negro citizens which
we nevertheless sacrificed — and are still sacrificing — for
reasons of prejudice and discrimination? Will we be able
ever to realize the terrible human price we have paid in
supporting this system of second-class citizenship?"

Mr. Humphrey then spoke of the "quiet revolution"
underway among Negroes, stemming from the increased
Negro enrollment in colleges and professional schools, a
rising level of income among Negroes and a declining
school dropout rate among Negroes as compared to the
general population.

"These men and women," he declared, "are succeeding
despite the handicaps of prejudice ... of closed doors . . .
of limited or non-existent educational opportunities . . .
and of the deep psychological wound of being a Negro in
a period where this often implied second-class citizenship
and back-of-the-bus."

Calling attention to the fact that discrimination can as-
sume many forms and many guises, Mr. Humphrey said
that "through such massive efforts as the anti-poverty pro-
gram, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the
Higher Education Act, we arc attempting to reach down
to the ghetto, into the slum, and into rural areas to give
the forgotten youngster a chance to function as a creative,
productive and responsible human being.

"We must extend the hand of opportunity to this for-
gotten individual caught in the ghetto," he continued, "but
it must necessarily remain the responsibility of the in-
dividual — as it is the responsibility of every human being
— to grasp this hand firmly and with determination. For
any person . . . the pursuit of excellence and creativity in-
volves the willingness to accept responsibility and the
courage to take risks. These are the qualities upon which
respect thrives.

"I am fully confident," the Vice President concluded,
"that this era will be remembered as the time when Amer-
ica provided every person with an opportunity to accept
this challenge — when we discarded forever the shroud of
hate and bigotry for the shining mantle of human freedom
and dignity."

Following Mr. Humphrey's address, he received an
honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from President Wilson
H. Elkins, President of the University. Similar degrees
were conferred upon Frederick W. Brune, former Chief
Judge in the Maryland Court of Appeals, and Dr. James
A. Sensenbaugh, State Superintendent of Schools for
Maryland.

Honorary degrees of Doctor of Science were conferred
upon Dr. Donald F. Hornig, Special Assistant to Pres-
ident Johnson for Science and Technology and Chairman
of the Federal Council for Science and Technology, and
Dr. James A. Shannon, Director of the National Institutes
of Health, main research arm of the U. S. Public Health
Service. Mr. Eric Sevareid, distinguished news correspond-
ent and commentator, was the recipient of the honorary
degree of Doctor of Humane Letters.

Honorary certificates of merit in agriculture were
awarded to four Maryland citizens for their contributions
to agriculture in the State. They were: Samuel M. Quillin,
of Berlin, Vice President of P and L Processors, Inc.;
Granville Gude, of Laurel, prominent Washington area
florist; Fred C. Downey, of Williamsport, dairy farmer;
and Noah E. Kefauver, Jr., of Middletown, milk producer.

Deans of the thirteen schools and colleges presented
3,325 bachelor degrees and 976 graduate degrees to mem-
bers of the Class of 1965. In similar ceremonies through-
out the country during the month of June, over 1,500,000
men and women received bachelor's degrees, and another
100,000 students earned higher degrees, according to U. S.
Labor Department statistics.

Officers of the United States Air Force, the United States
Marine Corps and the United States Navy who successful-
ly completed the ROTC program at the University re-
ceived their commissions from Colonel Vernon H. Reeves,
Professor of Air Science.

Following the singing of The Alma Mater, benediction
was given by The Reverend Theodore R. Caspar, Lutheran
Chaplain at the University. The music of Haydn's tri-
umphant march from the "Military Symphony," played by
Mr. Charlton G. Meyer, University Organist, accompanied
the Recessional and concluded the Commencement pro-
gram.

THE WEEK PRECEDING THE COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM
was alive with traditional social and commemorative
activities for graduates and alumni of the various schools
and colleges within the University.

College Park degree candidates heard Rabbi Abraham
Shusterman at Baccalaureate services on May 30 in the
University's Memorial Chapel. Rabbi Shusterman has
served as head of the Har Sinai Congregation in Baltimore
since 1941. Since 1955, he has been a member of a weekly

PROFESSOR LUDWIG ERHARD, CHANCELLOR "I III!
Federal Republic of Germany, and the Honorable-
George C. McGhee, United States Ambassador to Ger-
many, were honored guests at the University of Maryland
European Division's thirteenth annual commencement
exercises held in Heidelberg on May 30. President Wilson
H. Elkins conferred honorary Doctor of Law degrees

Elkins upon 134 graduates, more than half of whom were
in attendance. Of these 75 received Bachelor of Arts de-
grees in General Studies, while the rest received Bachelor
of Science degrees in Military Studies. The Master of
Arts degree went to Lt. Col. James M. Lee.

Although this year's class size was comparable to
graduating classes in recent years, demand for seating
in the Neue Aula of Heidelberg University was greater
than ever. In order to accommodate the large group of
Heidelberg students who wanted to hear Chancellor
Erhard and Ambassador McGhee, the ceremony was
televised into the University's largest lecture room.

e ceremony, and was assisted by Dr. Mason G.

Daly, director of the European Division. The University

Maryland Board of Regents was represented by Mrs.

John L. Whitehurst and Mr. Harry H. Nuttle.

Ambassador McGhee was the principal speaker, and
lie chose the occasion to make some far-reaching pro-
nouncements about the Federal Republic of Germany.
His talk, entitled "A Time for Decision," was widely
reported in the United States by radio, television and
newspapers.

The Ambassador said that the Federal Republic of
Germany had put its house in order in the twenty years
since the end of World War II. He complained that some
people still distrust Germany because of its past, but he
called these feelings "disturbing remnants of a negative
attitude that is badly out of date."

Having cited the democratic institutions and strong
economic structure built in the new Germany with its
government at Bonn, Ambassador McGhee stated, "There
is no question as to the high place Germany has attained
in the western community of nations — with great benefits
to the community as well as to Germany. Why, then,
should there be any remaining doubt about Germany?"

Rarely in the history of University College's European
Division have so many distinguished guests attended a
Maryland graduation. General Andrew P. O'Meara, Com-
mander-in-Chief of the United States Army, Europe, and
Mrs. O'Meara headed the list of dignitaries, which included
Lt. Gen. and Mrs. William W. Quinn, CG, Seventh U. S.
Army; Maj. Gen. and Mrs. F. T. Pachler, Chief of Staff,
USAREUR; Maj. Gen. and Mrs. William A. Enemark,
Chief of Staff, CENTAG; Maj. Gen. and Mrs. Joe S.

kamm, Rector Designatus, University of Heidelberg;
Mr. and Mrs. George Bogardus, American Consul, Stutt-
gart; and Mr. and Mrs. Everett K. Melby, American
Consul, Frankfurt.

Due to the state of international affairs in Asia, Mary-
land's Far East Division graduation ceremonies for 1965
were conducted on an informal basis, and only at one
location — Tokyo's Sanno Hotel. Of the 61 graduates, only
23 were able to be present to receive their diplomas. On
the giving end of this exchange was UC Dean Ray Ehrens-
berger, who acted on behalf of University President Wil-
son H. Elkins.

Dr. Joseph E. Dellen, director of the Far East Division,
gave the principal address of the evening. He told the
graduates that everything they did should have meaning
and that they had the choice of being spectators or partici-
pating observers in the affairs of the world.

Continuing his optimistic and forward looking theme.
Dr. Dellen said, "The search for meaning lies in man, in
ourselves. To achieve this search for meaning you must
continue to recognize that humanity is the goal and there
is need to discard outmoded ways of thought."

The graduating class was marked by outstanding aca-
demic achievement. Of the 61 diploma winners, 25 were
on the Dean's List and 8 qualified for Scholastic Medal-
lions. To qualify for the former, a student must earn a 3.5
average in his last 15 semester hours of work; to merit a
medallion he must post a 4.0.

Statistics show that 55 of the graduates were male, 6
were female. Fifty-five were married, 6 single (no correla-
tion ) . Among those students qualifying for membership
in the University of Maryland Alumni Association were
nine DAC's, three DAFC's, seven dependents, 16 Army
personnel, 25 Air Force personnel, and one Marine. They
came from 30 different states, California holding the lead
with eight.

Among the guests present for the occasion were Dr.
Charles B. Fahs, United States Minister for Cultural
Affairs; Major General Ethan A. Chapman, Chief of
Staff, US Forces, Japan; Major General Charles M.
McCorkle, Vice Commander, Fifth Air Force; and Briga-
dier General Douglas C. Polhamus, Commander, Kanto
Base Command.

Inside Maryland Sports

by Bill Dismer
Sports Information Director

THE "BIG BOY" WON'T BE BACK, BUT THERE SHOULD BE A
whale of a football team at College Park next Fall.

News that Tom "Bo" Hickey, the sophomore tailback who
rushed within ten yards of an all-time University record last
fall, had fallen victim to scholastic grades made the headlines
in the Sunday papers of June 20, but it didn't change Coach
Tom Nugent's opinion that Maryland would have a fine team
in 1965.

"We'll just make the necessary adjustments in personnel,"
were Nugent's words upon being informed of the loss of his
No. One running back. And those who know the crafty Irish-
man believe that he will come up with something to keep the
Terps the contenders they are expected to be.

The immediate hope is that one of three men will step into
Hickey 's shoes. Nugent's initial reaction was that Walt
"Whitey" Marciniak, a fine all-around back who was second
only to Hickey in ground-gaining last fall, would move from
his fullback spot to tailback. Whitey gained 448 yards — the
highest yardage for a No. 2 Maryland back since Ralph
Felton's 556 in 1953. In addition, Marciniak is a fine blocker
and a great team player. Ole Number 34 could be the fancy
of the fans next fall in his new role.

A second possibility is that Ernie Torain, who could be
the second Negro to excite Terp followers, will take over
Hickey's vacated spot. Ernie gained 357 yards rushing for
the freshmen last Fall (averaging 4.4 yards per carry) and
has the build (5-9, 200) to do the job. Torain, along with
"Skip" Lee, was one of Baltimore Poly's championship team
of 1963, the pair of them being known as the "touchdown"
twins." Torain was running just behind Hickey at the end
of Spring drills and is the same sort of hard-driving, shifty
back that Hickey is.

The third candidate for the role is a senior, Doug Klinger-
man, who in two years has averaged four yards for his 53
carries. Klingerman, a 5-11, 190-pound product of Blooms-
burg. Pennsylvania, saw considerable action last fall, gaining
140 yards for 30 rushes. The coaches respect him as a good,
aggressive runner . . . and an excellent student.

With 30 lettermen returning, including seven from the
1963 squad who were ineligible last year, Maryland fans
will see mostly experienced players in the offensive and de-

tensive units which will start the campaign against Ohio
University here on September 28. The only non-letter on
the offensive team will be Bill Van Heusen, a quarterback
and standout of last year's freshmen eleven. Van Heusen,
6-1, 198-pounder from Mamaroneck, New York, was "Mr.
Everything" for the Baby Terps in '64, leading them in rush-
ing (558 yards — 8.7 average), scoring (56 points), passing
(12 for 20 for 173 yards, three touchdowns), punting (41.6
yard average) and kickoff returns (20.4 average). Unfortun-
ately, Bill cracked a rib mid-way through the Spring drills and,
although he started the game against the Alumni on May 8,
had to retire early with a leg injury. But Nugent had been
pleased with what he saw and tabbed him the No. One OB
in his final Spring depth chart.

Two of the four lettermen of 1963 who sat out last year
will be on the No. One offensive unit. They are Tom Cichow-
ski, 6-4, 230-pound tackle, and Dick Melcher, one of a pair
of twins from DeMatha who stands 6-1, weighs 218. Com-
pleting the offensive line will be Dick Absher (6-5, 235) and
Chip Myrtle (6-2, 205) at ends; Matt Arbutina (6-1, 220)
at the other tackle, and Milan Vucin (5-9, 198) at the other
guard. Chick Krahling, a senior who played guard last year,
will take over the center spot.

Although the No. One defensive unit is not as experienced
as the offensive, with two sophomores apparently having won
starting berths, it was Nugent's opinion that it was further
advanced at the end of spring drills. Nugent went so far as
to say it could "hold its own in any league in the country."
On this team also are a pair of lettermen from the 1963
team, Melcher's brother Mick and Gary Miller. The
sophs who were found on this eleven at the close of Spring
drills were Tony Santy, a rangy 6-3, 195-pound safety back
from Plainfield, New Jersey, and Jim Lavrusky, a six-foot
208-pounder from Monaca, Pennsylvania.

Old-timers might have a bit of difficulty visualizing the
positions of members of the defensive units at Maryland if
they were to see only a printed lineup. There are no guards
or center on Nugent's defensive teams nor such a thing as
a fullback. Instead, there are left and right outside line
backers, a middle linebacker and a safety.

In the regular positions of defensive ends will be the senior
John Kenny ("unsung hero" of the 1964 season) and Mick
Melcher and at tackle will be another senior, Larry Bagranoff
(who proved quite a lacrosse player this Spring) and Bob
York, 225-pound, a junior from nearby Silver Spring. A
pair of sturdy juniors who proved themselves last year will
return to back up the line — Lorie McQueen and Ron Nalewak
— while Lavrusky will safeguard the middle.

Fred Cooper, another junior, will cavort with Miller in the

defensive halfback position, while Santy will be the safety
back. The latter beat out a two-letter veteran, Bob Sullivan,

for this job during Spring drills but Sullivan will see plenty

The next week, October 2. Syracuse re-appears here lor
the first time in four years, beginning a new six-year series
running through 1970. In II previous Maryland-Syracuse
games each has won five times with the other game a score-
less tie (1935). The last game, in Byrd Stadium in 1961,
was the all-time thriller, Maryland edging out a great S\ ra-
cuse team led by the late Ernie Davis. 22-21. Syracuse will
invade with 18 of the lettermen who posted a 7-3 record last
year and who will have played at Navy and Miami (Florida i
before coming to College Park.

The Terps will play their next two games on the road, at
Wake Forest and North Carolina, before returning for a
homecoming game with North Carolina State on October 23.
Although holding an all-time 10-8 edge over the Wolfpack,
Maryland hasn't beaten them since 1962. losing a 14-13
thriller last Fall at Raleigh.

Games number six, seven and eight all will be played
away from home at South Carolina, Navy and Clemson.
The Navy game, on November 6, again should make An-
napolis the mecca for Terp followers.

Originally, the game with Virginia on November 20 was
scheduled to be Maryland's last, but NBC's decision to make
the Maryland-Penn State game a national ••game o\ the
week" resulted in its postponement until December 4. \\ nh
the pre-season pointing to Maryland and Perm State being
among the best in the East, the wind-up could be for a
bowl bid, provided neither has faltered enroute. Penn State
will have played such powers as Michigan State. U.C.L.A.,
West Virginia, Navy and Pitt, the last-named being played
on November 20, same date as the Maryland-Virginia con-
test. Thus, both Penn State and Maryland will have two
weeks to prepare for their big TV meeting in December.

Dr. Schultze Appointed
Director of U. S. Budget

Dr. Charles Schultze, Professor of

Economics at the University, has been

appointed by

a President Lyndon
B. Johnson as
the new United
States Director
^/t of the Budget.

The position of
director of the
Bureau of the
Budget will in-
volve Dr. Schul-
tze in the distri-
bution of 100
billion dollars, He will not only super-
vise and prepare the Federal budget, but
he will also provide stall services and

analyses tor the President's policies

and budgeting operations.

According to Dr. Dudley Dillard,
Chairman of the Department of Eco-
nomics, "Dr. Schultze is certainly one
of the outstanding economists in the
country. He is an excellent teacher, a
personable individual and a brilliant
man. This new position is a great and
well-deserved tribute to him."

A monograph on inflation published
by the Joint Economic Committee of
the United States entitled Recent In-
flation in the U. S., and written by
Schultze, is used in graduate schools
throughout the country. He is also the
author of a new paperback, National
Income Analysis.

The former professor previously had
served as a staff economist on the Coun-
cil of Economic Advisors from 1952-
59. He was appointed Assistant Director
of the Budget Bureau in September,
1961.

Dean of Engineering
Retires to Teaching

Last June, Dr. Frederic T. Mavis, Dean
of Engineering, requested permission of
University President Wilson H. Elkins
to give up the administrative responsi-
bilities which he has held for eight years
and return to teaching. This June
marked the end of his 32-year career
of full-time administration at four major
universities. Before coming to the Uni-
versity in 1957, Dean Mavis was head
of academic and research departments
at the University of Iowa, Pennsylvania
State University and Carnegie Institute
of Technology.

Regarding the reasoning behind his
resignation, Dean Mavis explains, "I had
seen two deans whom I loved and ad-
mired become very unhappy men when,
by reason of age, they were forced to
give up administration without having

65-year-old Dean, in a letter to his de-
partment heads, said that he is looking
forward to his first months vacation
since 1933, and to teaching in the De-
partment of Mechanical Engineering.
"with no administrative responsibilities.
an absolute minimum of college com-
mittees, and the time and opportunity
to cover myself with library dust, class-
room chalk, and clean laboratory dirt."
Dean Mavis is the recipient o( four
degrees from the University oi Illinois.
He studied in Europe in 1927-28 as one
of the first group of Freeman Travel-
ing Fellows of the American Society ol
Civil Engineers. He has published ex-
tensively in fields of hydraulic engineer-
ing, structural analysis, applied me-
chanics, and engineering education. He
was awarded the Wason Medal for
Research by the American Concrete
Institute, and he is a member of nu-
merous professional and honorary so-
cieties.

Professor Russell B. Allen, now as-
sociate dean of the College, has been
appointed Acting Dean of Engineering.

Edwin Powell Enters
Lacrosse Hall of Fame

The man who laid the foundation for
Lacrosse at the University of Maryland,
Edwin Powell, Engr. *13, was honored
at Spring Reunion with membership in
the Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

Ed Powell came to the campus in
1909 with such enthusiasm for the game
that he sold his ideas and interest to
some 13 other students. Not one of
those men knew even the rudiments
of the game and not only were they
faced with having to buy their own
equipment, but they had to obtain ad-
ministration approval and faculty for-
bearance as well.

A schedule was arranged for 1910
and for four trying years the sport,
under the indomitable spirit of the
founder, supported by the grace,
rhythm and ability of his playing and
his tactical knowledge of the game,
took root and started to flower, eventu-
ally to reach national championship
proportions.

On the field during the half time at
the Maryland vs Hopkins Lacrosse
game on May 15, membership in the
Lacrosse Hall of Fame was conferred
upon the game's founder. In a tribute
by Dr. R. V. Truitt he was saluted as
athlete, business man, loyal alumnus,
and superb attack man (1910-1913).

Teammates who returned for Spring
Reunion and to honor Ed Powell were
Christian H. Buchwald, "15; Charles
A. Chaney, '11; Edgar W. Montell, '15;
Lloyd R. Rogers, '14; Ernest Trimble,
'13; and Reginald V. Truitt, '14.

Missionary Realizes Dream
to Become a Physician

A chance encounter in the Bahamas
with a Baltimore psychiatrist led a 33-
year-old medical missionary, Thomas
Cimonetti, to return to the United States
in 1961 to enroll at the University of
Maryland School of Medicine. This
June he received his M.D. degree at
Commencement Exercises at College
Park.

The incentives toward Dr. Cimonettis
unfulfilled boyhood dream of becoming
a doctor came with his marriage to
Anne Marie Pierce, a Canadian nurse,
and from his association with Dr. Frank
Ayd of Baltimore.

The Cimonettis had gone to Nassau
in the Bahamas where she set up a
nursing program in Catholic schools
and he taught at Aquinas College. There
he became acquainted with Dr. Ayd
who was on a lecture tour. Dr. Ayd
convinced him that his desire to become
a physician was not out of his reach.
In 1961 the Cimonettis returned to

Alumnus Appointed as
Deputy State's Attorney

A young man with new and positive
ideas about justice becomes Maryland's
first lull-time deputy State's Attorney.
Howard S. Chasanow, A&S '61, LL.B.
'61. was recently appointed Chief As-
sistant to State's Attorney Arthur A.
Marshall, Jr., in Prince Georges County.
Portrayed as a maverick by Jerry Lip-
son, stall' writer for the Waslun^ton
Evening Slav, Chasanow, a resident of
drcenbclt. joined Marshall's office in
lanuary 1963 as a part-time assistant
attorney after completing his military
service.

First in his law- class at Maryland
and with a master of laws degree from
Harvard, Howard Chasanow was not
always an exemplars student in high
school, and he recalls an incident with

an understanding policeman who called
him in on a traffic violation, talked to
him for two and a half hours and really
straightened him out. Such experiences
might be why Mr. Chasanow takes a
special interest in the juvenile cases that
come before the Prince Georges County
courts.

As full-time deputy, Howard Chasa-
now will be in charge of the office when
State's Attorney Marshall is away, and
will share with him the problems of
administering the eight-man staff of
attorneys.

Alumnus is Leading Builder

Is there a secret formula for transform-
ing undeveloped land into a complete
self-contained apartment community for
25,000 people? Following a recipe of
60 years of experience and dedication
to a "Total Living" concept, the Lefrak
organization is building Lefrak City —
a "City Within a City" consisting of 20
eighteen-story apartment skyscrapers,
shopping centers,
^*m^ a Federal office

building, and a
full complement
; m^ «, of recreational,

^ cultural and com-

/mj~Tr- mercial facilities.

^^\g<^ The firm hand

^k tVJ^ guiding the or-
^y\| ganization, which

I^JTlHL enjoys the distinc-
tion of being the
world's largest private builder of mul-
tiple dwellings, is Samuel J. Lefrak,
Engr.'40.

Sam Lefrak, who was active on cam-
pus as an undergraduate, succeeded his
father as president of the Lefrak Or-
ganization, Inc. in 1948. Under his
dynamic leadership, his firm acquired
some of the choicest building sites in
the New York metropolitan area, be-
gan assembling specialists in architec-
ture, engineering, construction, account-
ing and sales, and proceeded to erect
apartment dwellings which attracted the
construction industry. In 1955 the Le-
frak Organization built Kings Bay
houses in Brooklyn, a middle-income
apartment development. This program
was the first city-financed, privately con-
structed housing venture of its kind in
the United States.

For the next several years, through
primary construction and ownership of
multiple dwellings, the Lefrak Organi-
zation, Inc. branched out into many
other fields, and in many parts of the
world. They included office buildings,
industrial parks, shopping centers,
schools, and Federal, state and munici-
pal projects.

The most ambitious program
launched was the $150 million Lefrak
City, the "City Within a City," hailed as
a revolutionary undertaking and which

received citations for achievement and
design. This complex of middle-income
apartment buildings is located in the
Forrest Hills section of Queens — a short
distance from the World's Fair grounds.

More than 450 buildings have been
constructed by Lefrak. It is estimated
that one out of every 16 New Yorkers
lives in a Lefrak-built apartment. His
recognized leadership in the field of
housing has prompted governmental and
international organizations to call on
him for counsel.

The firm is now planning and de-
signing low budget developments in
Central and South America and explor-
ing the possibilities of establishing native
building industries in Africa and Asia.

Among the many honors bestowed
upon Sam Lefrak was his recent selec-
tion as the recipient of the John F.
Kennedy Peace Award of the Jewish
National Fund of America. He is a
member of President Johnson's Com-
mittee on Employment of the Handi-
capped, a Director of the World's Fair
Corporation, and a member of the Sara-
toga Springs Commission, in addition
to many other public service and phil-
anthropic activities.

A resident of Woodmere, New York,
Mr. Lefrak is married to the former
Ethel Stone. They have four children
and a grandchild.

Dental Alumni Confer
Alumni Awards

Drs. Rudolph O. Schlosser, D.D.S.
'03, and Arthur Irving Bell, D.D.S. '19.
were presented the School of Dentistry's
Alumni Association distinguished alum-
nus awards for 1965 at the Associa-
tion's banquet.

Dr. Schlosser is a native of Pleshen,
Poland and migrated with his family
to Meriden, Connecticut in 1889. His
career led him through night school,
nurses' training, dental school and re-
nown in the field of dentistry. He was
professor of Prosthetic Dentistry at
Northwestern University until his re-
tirement in 1947, when he became Pro-
fessor Emeritus. He has contributed
numerous articles and a now standard
textbook, Complete Denture Prosthesis,
to the dental literature.

Dr. Bell was born in Prince Edward
Island, Canada, and now lives in Catons-
ville. He accomplished postgraduate
work at the University of Alabama,
Georgetown University, and the Col-
lege of Physicans and Surgeons in San
Francisco.

He is active in numerous professional
and civic organizations. He was the
first President of the University of
Maryland Council, past President of
the Maryland State Dental Association,
founder of the Dental School's alumni
endowment trustees, and past President
of the Dental School Alumni Associa-
tion.

Engineering Students had
to Write Their Way In

If you were a civil engineering studenl
in the early "20s and wanted to be ad-
mitted to the University's chapter of the
Tau Beta Pi Fraternity, what did you
have to do?

Young aspiring civil engineers in
those days literally had to write their
way in.

A requirement tor admission was to
submit a pledge thesis historical in na-
ture on engineering projects connected
with the State of Maryland.

A student, for instance, could write,
as Barnwell Rhett King did in January
1926, on the subject of his interest, "The
Muirkirk Iron Works," detail all phases
of construction, show photographs and
give pertinent historical data.

That this requirement was well ad-
hered to is attested by the recent finding
in the College of Civil Engineering of
more than 200 such theses written be-
tween the early '20s and 1940 by stu-
dents admitted to that fraternity.

More in the form of an essay than
a thesis, the idea of a written report as
a pledge to the Tau Beta Pi Fraternity
is still practised today (engineering stu-
dents still have to write their way in).
The big difference says Russell B. Allen,
Acting Dean of the College of Engineer-
ing, is that the subject matter is less
technical and must conform to Tau
Beta Pi's current objective to foster
liberal culture in the engineering col-
leges of America.

The reports are being catalogued by
the staff of the Maryland and Rare Book
Department of the McKeldin Library
and will be housed there permanently.
Mrs. Isabella M. Hayes, Head of the
Maryland and Rare Book Department,
considers the find valuable because of its
research value to students.

The University Library is seeking to
build a collection of reports, publica-
tions and associative records of this type
in addition to its other materials.

Origins and Effects of
Prejudice are Discussed

"We have to learn how to hate," said
Dr. Eugene Brody, professor of psy-
chiatry and director of The Psychiatric
Institute at the University of Maryland
School of Medicine, in a recent inter-
view. Dr. Brody, with other members
of his staff, has conducted research on
intergroup relations in this country and
abroad.

"As a child becomes transformed into
a functioning member of society vari-
ous prejudices are instilled into him,
primarily by his family, and later by the
society in which he lives."

Prejudice, Dr. Brody defines as "an
antipathy based upon a faulty and in-

July- August, 1965

flexible generalization, li is, ,„ a sense
related to paranoia in which a person
doesn t behave on the basis of what is
really true, but on the basis ol a fixed

delusional idea, a prejudice maj be

directed toward a group as ., whole, or

toward an individual because Ik- is .,
member oi that group.

"This leads to stereotyped thinking,"
Dr. Brody continued.

"One aspect oi prejudiced, stereo-
typed thinking is that it simplifies lite;
it reduces the number ol decisions thai
must be made. It offers a sense ol iden
city and inner security to those who
can't afford to he uncertain or to ac-
knowledge to themselves that they might
lie mistaken.

"Through the use oi stereotypes or
myths the prejudiced person uses a tar-
get group as a convenient scapegoat
which can be loaded with his own
sins and driven out of the community."
What does psychiatry have to do
with prejudice and poverty? he was
asked. "We are interested first in the
victims of poverty and prejudice. Prej-
udice leads to some groups of people-
being discriminated against in the eco-
nomic struggle. The poor, once sick,
stay sick in hospitals for a long time.'
There are six to eight times as many
poor who are chronic inhabitants of
mental hospitals as those of better in-
comes. Furthermore, a man who is a
member of a discriminated-against
minority group is not only more likely
to be deprived of economic and educa-
tional opportunities, but the experience
of growing up as a segregated, depre-
cated person has influenced the devel-
opment of his personality in many ways.
"And second, we are interested in
the prejudiced person himself. What are
his psychiatric characteristics and can
they be modified?"

Regional Workshop on
Adult Illiteracy Meets
at College Park

The University of Maryland was one of
three universities selected to bring na-
tional teaching experts and representa-
tives of 50 states together this summer
to find the best way to train personnel
and implement state plans for erasing
this country's adult illiteracy.

Maryland, along with the Univer-
sities of New Mexico and Washington,
conducted a two-week regional, inter-
university workshop on adult basic edu-
cation. Funds were made available by
the Ford Foundation. Also cooperating
were the National Association for Pub-
lic School Adult Education, National
Education Association and the U. S.
Office of Education.

In addition to idea exchanges, lec-
tures, discussions, case studies and or-
ientation sessions, the 29 state and ter-
ritorial teams attending the Maryland
workshop examined first-hand teaching

techniques used in the Baltimore Public
School System's adult education

The sculptor calls this "Mother Love"
. . . and who can argue? At the very
least, it's a forceful expression of origi-
nal thought. Westinghouse-Baltimore
isn't hiring sculptors these days, but we
always need engineers, mathematicians
and physicists with demonstrated ca-
pacity for original thought — men who
can think apace with the outstanding
scientists already enrolled in Westing-
house projects.

For the exceptional man with the train-
ing .. . the tenacity ... the vision and
the curiosity, here is the chance to
participate in the great intellectual
adventures of our time.

Can you qualify? Tell us what you have
to offer us in training and experience,
we'll tell you what Westinghouse has
to offer you.

He is survived by six grand-
children and a brother, George C. of
Stuart, Florida. Expressions of sym-
pathy were in the form of contribu-
tions to the University of Maryland
Hypertension Research Fund and the
Maryland Educational Foundation of
the University of Maryland.

John W. Stanley, Sr., 77, a re-
tired Army major who taught military
science and tactics at the University of
Maryland died on May 10, 1965, at
Walter Reed Army Hospital following
a stroke.

Born in Fayetteville, North Carolina,
Major Stanley became a first lieutenant
in the North Carolina National Guard
in Raleigh, where he attended Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College.

During his Army career, he was a
company commander on the Mexican
border at El Paso, Texas, in 1916 and
took part in three major battles in the
Ypres and Somme offensives in France
in World War I.

He was assigned to the Army's chief
of finance office here after the war, and
taught at the University of Maryland
from 1921 to 1924. He was a member
of the Almas Temple, the Columbia
Blue Lodge of the Masons, and a former

A leading educator in the field of vo-
cational education, Mr. Ziefle was the
retired principal of Mergenthaler Vo-
cational-Technical High School in Bal-
timore, a model among trade schools,
both here and overseas. Mr. Ziefle,
whose teaching career started in 1925,
was an outspoken proponent of the
vocational student and he once said:
"It's time that people realized that being
a skilled craftsman is a pretty worth-
while ambition . . . many of our grad-
uates go on to college . . . and industry
clamors for them.

"We are very selective at Mergen-
thaler," he explained. "We turn away
many applicants because they don't
meet our requirements." To many he
was the spirit of Mergenthaler, a merger
of several scattered vocational schools
in Baltimore which he had helped to
design. He became its first principal
when it opened in 1953.

Mr. Ziefle belonged to the Maryland
Vocational Association, as well as the
Baltimore Retired Public Schoolteachers
Association and two honorary educa-
tional fraternities, Phi Delta Kappa and
Phi Lambda Sigma. He is survived by
his wife, the former Ethel Delp, two
daughters, and several grandchildren.

A Message from Erna Chapman

IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE THAT THIS IS MY LAST MEETING AS
President. Time has slipped by so quickly. It has been
a wonderful year for me in many ways, and it is difficult
to list the reasons in any sequence of importance. However,
I believe I would place at the top of the list the wonderful
cooperation I have had from everyone. The Executive
Committee was the best that anyone could have asked for,
and the highest of praise must be given to the staff of the
Alumni Office for the many long and hard hours of work
which they gave in supporting the activities in which I
participated. To you, the members of the Council, goes my
sincere thanks for your cooperation and your fine spirit
of friendliness. The many invitations you extended to me
to represent the Alumni Association at the special events
of your college chapters and clubs were greatly appreci-
ated. My one regret has been that time did not permit me
to attend all of them, for I made many new friends and
observed many fine activities of your groups.

The athletic department also added enjoyment to my
year. I shall have many exciting memories of events I
attended as a member of the Athletic Council.

Last, but by no means least, has been the enjoyment
experienced from the many courtesies extended to me
by the administration. Although I served as your President,
there were many occasions when 1 felt as though I were
your queen.

Another privilege that has been mine has been to serve
with the new Director of Alumni Affairs, and it has been a
very pleasant experience. One cannot assume the presi-
dency of an organization without being influenced by what
has existed in the past. However, when change occurs,

one must consider all oi the implications, and it was my
feeling that the new director be given every opportunity
to understand and find direction. This has been accom-
plished and a fine spirit of cooperation has existed in
carrying out the endeavors of the Council and in project-
ing plans for the future.

1 am certain that my predecessors have all had the goal,
and it is a continuing one, to develop good will and active
participation among the alumni in supporting the Uni-
versity in its many activities. We have tried to increase
the interest of undergraduates in the programs of the
Alumni Association through recognition awards and by
supporting numerous projects. Efforts have been made
to form new alumni clubs and to re-activate old ones.
The Council has been represented on the Greater Uni-
versity of Maryland Fund to develop means whereby the
Alumni can better lend its support in helping to provide
more non-committed funds for the many needs of a
rapidly expanding University. We have increased our
interest in alumni publications to expand avenues of com-
munication with our alumni so that they may be better
informed concerning alumni and Universit) programs
and activities.

It is difficult to evaluate objectively what has been done
when one has been so closely associated with the activities.
Possibly only time will decide what has been accomplished.

In closing, I want to say that it has been a privilege
to serve the Alumni Association and the University.

Erna R. Chaiwi w. II I e. '34
President, 1964-65

years ago

a transcontinental
phone call took 23

minutes to complete

Installers of the first transcontinental line had to surmount hardships
of windstorm, ice and scorching heat combined with rugged country.

The first open wire line (linked here at the Nevada-Utah border)
could carry only three calls and was vulnerable to interruptions.

TODAY, WHEN YOU DIAL IT YOURSELF, THAT SAME CALL
GOES THROUGH IN ABOUT 25 SECONDS (and costs about one-tenth the price)

One of our newest routes is a

blast-resistant cable that can handle over

9000 multi-channel conversations.

Telephone service has come a long way
since that historic call in 1915. It has grown
in scope from 9,000,000 phones and a single
open line spanning the continent to 88,000,000
phones and a huge network of several hundred
thousand channels including 24,000 that cross
the continent, via several different routes,
from the east to the west coast.

Accomplishment has been the keynote
since the first coast-to-coast telephone call.
Improvements in local exchanges and Long
Distance circuits have led to better and more
efficient telephone service.

These developments have been effective in
reducing the cost of calls. Fifty years ago, the
cost of a three-minute call from New York to
San Francisco was $20.70. Today, that same
call costs you as little as $1. (Rate for 3-min-
ute, station-to-station call, after 8 P.M. and
all day Sunday, plus tax.)

And still the future is full of promise. New
phones will be introduced, technology will be
improved and advances made that will open
up a whole new world of communications.

Today. 30.000 calls a day are completed quickly
and easily between New York and the west coast
and Long Distance is truly "the next best thing
to being there."

TOWARD A NEW CONSTITUTION

FOR MARYLAND

by Dr. Elbert M. Byrd, Jr.
Associate Professor of Goverment and Politics

THERE IS A GROWING EFFECTIVE PUBLIC INTEREST IN
the writing of a new Constitution for the State of
Maryland. Although resolutions proposing a Constitutional
Convention have been introduced in the General Assem-
bly for many years, such a resolution received adminis-
tration support for the first time in the 1965 session of
the General Assembly. Also, in the 1965 session, there
was administration support for the establishment of a
Constitutional Revision Commission which would be
charged with preparatory work prior to the calling of a
convention.

Both the Convention and Commission bills died during
the end-of-session rush, but the adopted budget included a
$50,000 item to be used to finance the work of the Con-
stitutional Revision Commission. The Attorney General
of Maryland has advised the Governor that he has the
power to appoint a Commission by Executive Order, and
that the $50,000 may be used to finance the work of the
Commission so appointed. The Governor was strongly in
favor of the creation of such a Commission by legisla-
tive action. This June, he named 27 members to a Con-
stitutional Revision Commission created by executive
order.

When reference is made to a growing "effective" public
interest in the writing of a new Constitution, this is not
to deny that there has been substantial general interest
in the past. The present Constitution has provided that

every twenty years the voters shall indicate whether or
not a Constitutional Convention shall be called. The vote
on the question was affirmative in 1930 and also carried
affirmatively in 1950 by an overwhelming majority. The
General Assembly repeatedly refused to call the Conven-
tion, however, those opposed often relying on the argu-
ment that although a majority voting on the question was
for the Convention, this was not a majority voting in the
election. In other words, those voters who retrained, for
whatever reason, from making a choice in the matter were
viewed as voting against the question.

In the face of the repeated refusal of the General
Assembly to call the Convention, and in view of the lack
of support from the Governor's office in the past for a
convention, why do the prospects suddenly brighten in
1965? From the perspective of politics, there seem to be
two main reasons. As to the sentiment in the General
Assembly, the previous obstacle was principally due to
the fear that a convention might well adopt a measure
to reapportion the General Assembly. Now that reap-
portionment has been directed by the judiciary and is
to be brought about in any event, that cause for fear of
a convention will soon be largely removed. Probablj
more important politically is that in 1966. for the fust
time, the candidates for nomination for Governor will be
selected by state-wide popular vote in the primary election
rather than bv the unit vote. Under the old unit vote

September-October 1965

Candidates for Governor will henceforth
be elected by popular vote . . . the judiciary
has directed reapportionment of the General Assembly

system, a candidate who carried all the counties on
the Eastern Shore would receive 35 unit votes even
though the population of the area was only 240,000.
A candidate receiving a majority of the popular vote
in Baltimore County, with its population of over 500,000
would receive only seven unit votes. If winning the
election is the principal object of strategy, it can readily
be seen that past candidates for Governor had no reason
to make constitutional revision a part of their campaign
platforms. The urban areas have been strongly in favor
of constitutional revision. With the unit vote abolished,
there is every reason to expect that candidates for Gov-
ernor will be strongly for constitutional revision — assum-
ing that winning the election is the principal object of
strategy. It is with some confidence that it can be ex-
pected that support for constitutional revision will eman-
ate from what previously would have been very unlikely
sources.

Turning now to some general matters of substance,
the question arises as to what is wrong with the present
Constitution. It is perhaps best to approach the answer
by dividing the problem into at least two areas, advanc-
ing from the simple to the complex, or perhaps from the
area where there would be most agreement to areas of
most probable disagreement.

There will undoubtedly be agreement that the present
Constitution is far too long, including excessive legislative
detail and a considerable number of archaic provisions.

Such language as "every white male citizen . . . ought
to have the right of suffrage," as contained in Article 7
of the Declaration of Rights, would be changed without
difficulty. Several sections of several articles now desig-
nated "vacant" could certainly be removed. Such articles
as XI-C, concerned with "Off-Street Parking" in Balti-
more City, certainly would be eliminated. These are
merely examples of miscellaneous chaff which any reason-
able group of convention delegates would immediately
agree to eliminate. It is probable that they would also
agree to strike that provision in Article 3, Section 37
which states that the General Assembly "shall adopt such
measures, as they may deem expedient, to obtain from the
United States, compensation for . . . Slaves, and to re-
ceive, and distribute the same, equitably, to the persons
entitled."

Redrafting Maryland's Constitution will involve some
disagreement over the structure of the executive branch.
The main question revolves around the unification of
power and responsibility. In short, where many executive
officers are separately elected by the voters, the responsi-
bility of each is diffused, and it is often difficult to pre-
vent bickering and buck-passing between these officials.
If, on the other hand, there is a single elected head of
government, he is responsible to the voters for the per-
formance of the other executive officials appointed by him.
Omitting the office of Lieutenant Governor, only five

states of the Union (New Jersey, Tennessee, Maine, New
Hampshire, and Hawaii) provide for the election of the
Governor alone by the voters, and authorize him to ap-
point all other executive officials. The other extreme is
Oklahoma which elects executive officials for seventeen
agencies. Maryland is better off than most, selecting three
executive officials by popular vote. These are the Gover-
nor, the Attorney General, and the Comptroller. Drafters
of a new proposed constitution for Maryland will have
to deal with the idea that only the Governor and Lieu-
tenant Governor for Maryland should be elected.

In the highly complex field of judicial organization, the
drafters will be faced with the problem of attempting to
establish a uniform centralized system to replace the
existing organizational chaos. The present system is so
complex, involving a host of exceptions to almost every
general rule, that a small book is necessary even to
approximate a satisfactory description. Especially in the
courts of limited jurisdiction, there is a bewildering
variety of authority and organization from area to area.
Some counties have trial magistrates courts, the authority
of which is peculiar to each court. Some have People's
Courts, each with its own special jurisdiction- — some hav-
ing criminal jurisdiction, for example, and others having
only civil case authority. Then there are the Orphan's
Courts with some differences in practice and pay — ex-
cept in Montgomery County where this court has been
abolished by constitutional amendment. Baltimore City
has a special Municipal Court. Although the variations
are not as extreme at the Circuit Court and Appellate
Court levels, there are many organizational problems
there also, including a growing problem of overloaded
dockets. Surprisingly, however, there may not be as
much disagreement about the judiciary as in other areas.
The American Bar Association and its affiliates are
strongly in favor of what is called a uniform system of
judicial organization.

That part of the Maryland Constitution, Article 3.
Sections 2 and 5, pertaining to apportionment of the
General Assembly has been held invalid as contradictory
to the United States Constitution. There will be agree-
ment, therefore, that these provisions must be re-written.
It is probable that the "one man, one vote" formula will
have to be adopted. Much disagreement can be expected
over the manner in which this formula is to be imple-
mented.

A two-house legislature can be retained, providing for
representation in both houses on the basis of population
equality. In that event, and especially if the county is
retained as the basic unit of representation, the General
Assembly will be larger in number than ever before in its
history. There will also be conflict over the question of
creating legislative districts within the larger counties.

Although a two-house legislature is traditional in Mary-
land, a unicameral or single-house body is an alternative

The Maryland Magazine

which receives an increasing amount of favorable com
merit. It could be founded also on the traditional county-
Baltimore City units of representation— in winch case a
rather large legislature would result. New legislative dis
tricts, in some cases including several small counties in
a single district, would produce a smaller legislative
body. Although this latter approach would overturn
many ingrained customs in Maryland, it is fair to saj
that customary structure is going to be changed in any
event, and that a smaller unicameral body has much to
commend it within the complex of problems lacing Mar)
land today. It would be most valuable in that the reduced
number of members of the legislature could be paid
greatly increased individual salaries with little additional
total cost, that they could thereby be virtually full-time
legislators, putting an end to the scramble of incoherent
activity so often seen in the attempts to beat the adjourn-
ment deadlines of constitutionally prescribed short
sessions.

All structural aspects of government need review by
those charged with providing a new constitution for Mary-
land, but there is little doubt that the legislative branch
deserves the main focus. In fact, if the legislature could
be so structured that the public interest is always held
supreme, and little if any incentive remained upon which
special interest could be brought to bear, then short-
comings in all other agencies of the government would
receive sustained attention, and they would be corrected
by legislation or constitutional amendment initiated by
the legislative branch. For years, now, the more special-
ized professional journals, particularly in the academic
world, have bewailed the inadequacies of state legisla-
tures, pointing out that the members of such bodies are
the first to bemoan the drift of power to Washington
while at the same time they refused to provide the efficient
and responsive government necessary to maintain respect
and loyalty to the governments at home. As the situation
worsened, such criticism of state legislatures has now
worked its way into the popular press and periodical
magazines. These news stories and articles deal with
the problem nationally, but Maryland's General Assembly
is almost always mentioned.

Sober notice is taken of the fact that the annual
budget has increased from 67 million dollars in 1946
to almost 800 millions in 1965, and that the adop-
tion of this budget and the exaction of the revenue to
support it is done under extreme pressure of time by
members whose pay for the job is $2,400 per year and
for whom research and administrative support is limited
indeed. Meanwhile, the highest paid lobbyist this year
received $35,973.75; others received such sums as
$20,000, $15,000, and on down to many others who
received more per lobbyist than a member of the legis-
lature. These lobbyists are also backed by the most pro-
fessional research and administrative assistance. Is it
too much to conclude that the official representatives can-
not adequately compete with the special interest repre-
sentatives? Maryland citizens ultimately pay for both
types of representatives. As of today, they face a situa-
tion in which they pay to have the cards stacked in favor
of the representatives of privilege and special interest.

As presently constituted, the General Assembly can-
not adequately cope with state problems, but many of its
difficulties grow out of the practice of passing local legis-
lation at the state level. Most of the bills introduced and
considered by the General Assembly deal with one county
or with Baltimore City. Those four counties (Anne

in legislation passed In the local governing body. Local
legislation by the General Assembly, as previous!) known,
would no longer be authorized; legislation could be passed

lor local units within a single Classification, but none toi
a single unit.

It will be proposed to the constitution drafters that a
companion practice to local legislation, that ol local
exemption, should be prohibited. I he practice ol local
exemption, which is neither authorized nor prohibited
by the present Constitution, involves a situation in which
a representative from one area of the stale insists, in
effect, that the public general law. i. c. state- wide law.
must be amended so as not to apply to his area. His
insistence is very often agreed to because, under the cus-
tom, the other legislators will expect and receive a similar
concession on other occasions when state-wide bills arc-
proposed which are unacceptable to them for their areas.
All this is called "legislative courtesy" or "Senatorial
courtesy," depending on which house of the legislature
happens to be dealing with the problem. There is some
defense of the practice of exemption on the ground that
good legislation has been occasionally passed which never
could have passed unless one or more counties were
exempted — that is, the argument goes, it is better to have
good legislation applicable in half the counties of the
State than in none at all. The view that such good legis-
lation would never have passed without exemption can-
not be proved or disproved. It is like saying that the
runner on third base would never have scored if the
batter had not been given the signal to bunt. In the
absence of that signal, the batter might have scored a hit
without sacrificing himself. What can be proved is that
local exemption helps to create a patchwork of laws.
What can be proved is that, as an example, an act ma)
be criminal in one county and quite all right in the next.
And there is considerable reason to believe that such a
situation creates disrespect for the government of the State.

The points discussed here are merely illustrative in
broad outline of the problems to be faced by the drafters
of a new constitution for Maryland, and ultimately to be
faced by the voters of Maryland. Many other more specific
problems are here left untouched. Coming to grips with
the total problem is going to be a very difficult task — which
is only another way of saying that making our Federal
system work is a continuing task of great difficulty. The
easy method is one of drift and postponement. For those
who no longer care about the Federal system of govern-
ment or wish to sec it replaced in practice by centralized
national administration, they should continue to relax while
looking upon the present development with considerable
delight. For those who wish to save the Federal system or
who think we should not give up just now on the prospect
of reforming the state governments, they have a great deal
of work to do. &

STEWARDS OF OUR
NATURAL RESOURCES

by Edison T. Blair, Editor
Natural Resources Institute

EXCEPT FOR SEVERAL MUDDY MEN AND SOME CURIOUS
birds, Sandy Point State Park was deserted during
the cold, windy, drizzling weeks of March. The men
planted hand-high seedlings in the corners of squares
formed by hundreds of white strings stretched at right
angles between wooden stakes ....

'"Say, Doc, I've got another funny looking oyster here.
I'll bring it over for you to examine," a rubber-booted
waterman in an Eastern Shore packing house said into a
telephone ....

In a well-lighted laboratory a woman beams a strong
light across the watery film in a black pan, pausing to
rake aside barely visible objects with a needle ... at
a deer checking station, a man
snips the jawbone from a hunter's
trophy ... A valve turns and
live steam hisses into a commer-
cial canning retort. ... a scientist
answers a waterman's question in
an adult education class. . . . an-
other corrects galley proofs for a
scientific journal. ... a man, knee-
deep in an icy mountain stream
edged with the orange stain of acid
pollution, scoops up a sample of the
bottom . . . miles away in Chesa-
peake Bay another man dredges up
a half dozen blue crabs wintering
in the mud of an estuary.

Such routine activities make up
the work day of the University's
Natural Resources Institute. Hours
at the microscope, data recording,
analysis, and publication fill in the
weeks and months. The Institute

is responsible for a broad program of research and con-
servation education on the State's nonagricultural re-
sources, lis main concern is with fresh and salt water
fisheries, seafood processing and marketing, estuarine
studies, game animals, forestry, and water pollution prob-

lems. The program aims at maintaining Maryland's well-
earned reputation as a land of pleasant living.

Early Maryland colonists told of magnificent hard-
wood forests where trees were "so straight and tall that
beams sixty feet long . . . could be made of them."
Wildlife was so abundant that one colonist declined to
describe "so numerous an extent of creatures." Deer
were killed for sport because venison had grown tiresome
and "nauseated our appetites." Rivers were clean, clear,
and full of native fish. Chesapeake Bay was the world's
largest and best fishing hole. For hundreds of years the
Bay's succulent oysters spawned and grew fat in apparently
inexhaustible numbers in the fertile waters. The muddy
mollusk became one of the State's
most valuable resources and an
easily harvested economic asset.

As stewards of this corner of
Eden, Marylanders enjoyed the
best of its God-given natural re-
sources for more than two cen-
turies. Then fish began to die in
rivers polluted with the by-prod-
ucts of civilization. Deer, bear,
beaver, and turkey disappeared as
man the spoiler consumed and des-
troyed the animals' natural food
and shelter. The Bay that yielded
15 million bushels of oysters in
1885 was so barren 35 years later

State laid the foundation for the Natural Resources In-
stitute around the turn of the century. Although it didn't
become an integral part of the University until 1961, the
Institute traces its beginning back to the Department of
Entomology and Zoology in the early 1920's. Professor

The Maryland Magazine

R. V. Truitt, A&S '14, assistant zoologist, already studying
oysters under the direction of Dr. Ernest N. Cory, was
asked by the Conservation Commission to point his re-
search toward restoration of the oyster bars.

A temporary laboratory was set up in the parish hall
of a church at Solomons Island in 1923. By 1925 Dr.
Truitt had founded and been named director of the Chesa-
peake Biological Laboratory there. The first of the present
five-building complex was dedicated in 1932 by Governor
Albert C. Ritchie. Goucher, St. Johns, Johns Hopkins
University, Western Maryland, Hood, George Washington,
and other colleges joined in the estuarine research. For
ten years selected graduate and undergraduate students
attended summer courses that blended education with
scientific research.

Research projects soon embraced practically every
animal and plant in the Bay waters. The Laboratory staff
branched out into inland game and fish studies, added
forestry programs, and a conservation education division
to serve teachers and the public. For 20 years — between
the time the program outgrew the Laboratory and 1961,
when it joined the University — this organization was aptly
called the Maryland Department of Research and Educa-
tion.

Dr. Truitt continued to teach until 1943 and remained
director of the Department until retirement in 1954. A

lew months later, Dr. 1 I ugene ( ronin, K&S • who
had left the Laboratory ii\ «.• years earliei to organize and
direel a similai institution lor the l niversit) <>t Delawi
was named director. Dr, ( ronin still heads the Institute
which mm consists of foiu divisions.

because of us more ample facilities, bul also because ol the

is still being collected on one ol the original studies which
determined spawning and spat setting periods and led to
present shell-planting practices.

It was also the Laboratory's research and dogged edu
cational efforts that led to present laws protecting the

don. Tagging striped bass (Rockfish) as thc> did mi
ting crabs, fishery biologists learned much ol the Rock's
spawning habits and lite cycles. Biologists pointed out
that a female striped bass, which begins to spawn at
around 15 inches, produces a greater number ol eggs
each year until she spawns about 90,000 eggs at lull
maturity. Now laws protect these 60-pound fish that can
easily reproduce more than enough to till the fisher-
man's creel.

The Institute's 52-foot research vessel, the Orion, lilted
out as a floating laboratory, is used regularly to collect
fish eggs and larvae at dilferent depths in towed plankton
nets. Preliminary sorting starts on board enroute to other
areas to be sampled. A three-man research crew helps
each other with the egg collection, a study of the Bay's
ecology, and a study of the gases, sediment, and organic-
matter contained in the water at various depths. Such
teamwork is essential in the institute to assure
maximum use of all the equipment. The Orion will soon
be rigged with a deep-water clam dredge to collect more
information on bottom areas inaccessible until now.

When the World's Fair opened in 1965 the familiar
hot dog stand at the Maryland pavilion had been replaced
with a clam stand featuring deep-fried soft shell clams.
This is part of the Institute's efforts to promote a broader
market for this delectable denizen of Chesapeake Bay.
More than 80 percent of Maryland's harvest of soft shell
clams is consumed in New England. Soft shell clams take-
five to seven years to mature in the cold New Hngland
waters but grow to full size in only two years in the Bay,
Institute research shows. University scientists have
several studies underway on this Bay product which is
steadily growing in economic importance.

The blue crab, famous for its backfin lump, for main
years could be enjoyed only in waterfront communities.
Now it is found in markets all over the country, thanks

to a pasteurization process in which the Institute's Sea-
food Processing Laboratory at Crisfield figured prom-
inentia This laboratory in the heart of Maryland's sea-
sing area was established in 1954 by the
Zoologj Department. When the Department of Research
Education was reorganized into the Institute as part
of the Universit) in 1961, the Seafood Processing Labora-
uw\ became the Institute's fourth division.

Biologists, chemists, and food technicians there are
constantly searching lor more efficient and effective
methods of processing and packaging seafoods; the cause
and prevention of spoilage; and new food products from
the Hay. The C'ristield laboratory provides an extension
service for the packing industry by supplying complete
information on its research into sanitation and processing
techniques. Among the experiments now underway is
an automated method of pasteurization and immediate
quick-freezing of oysters, clams, and similar food by
evaporating liquid nitrogen.

Forestry, game, fresh water fish, and stream pollution
are the concern of the Institute's Inland Resources Divi-
sion. It operates out of the College Park campus office
and an office in LaVale which is in the center of Mary-
land's Appalachian region.

For years Institute biologists have studied Maryland's
native white-tail deer, once exterminated in all but three
western counties of the State. The data collected on the
deer's natural life span, food habits, disease and para-
sites was made available to agencies that control its
hunting. Deer are now hunted in every county in Mary-
land. Other game research includes territorial range, nest-
ing habits, diseases and parasites of squirrels, beaver,
and other small game. Beaver, once thought extinct, are
making a strong natural comeback in western Maryland
to the delight of some and the chagrin of others.

Fish studies range from pollution tolerance to species
distribution and population in a constant effort to im-
prove recreational fishing in Maryland. Recreation-minded
Marylanders underscored the importance of this research
in 1964 when they spent well over a million dollars for
hunting and fishing license fees. There are thousands of
square miles of tidal fishing waters in the State where no
license is required. How much these people spent for
goods and services in pursuit of their hobby is not known.
But hunters and fishermen in the entire nine-state Appa-
lachian area reportedly spent more than $350 million
for goods and services in 1961.

selected stands of white pine throughout the world. The
object — faster-growing, disease and insect-resistant vari-
eties, best adapted to Maryland's soil and climate. The
foresters may not live to see the full fruits of this inter-
national forest tree genetic experiment, but future genera-
tions will certainly benefit from their carefully recorded
data. Other forestry studies involve growth rates and
hybrid development.

Conservation Education with a staff of five is the
smallest division of the Institute and its mission is obvious.
Headquartered at College Park in order to maintain close
liaison with other members of the faculty, an associate
professor directs instructors at both Solomons and LaVale
who work with the local school systems in their areas.
They arrange tours, lectures, and exhibits for students,
teachers, civic, and conservation groups. They also con-
tribute to the educational material on conservation and
natural resources prepared and published by the division.
Editorial review of papers intended for scientific journals
is coordinated through the division.

Institute foresters in 1965 planted more than 15,000
white pine seedlings grown from seed obtained from 150

A six-week course in conservation of natural resources
intended primarily for elementary and science teachers
is offered in cooperation with the College of Agriculture
each summer. The curriculum is carefully balanced be-
tween lectures and field trips to provide the broadest pos-
sible study in a limited period. More than a thousand
Maryland teachers have attended this summer course.

Some of the results of research and management studies
dealing with the natural resources of the Bay area are
published in the Institute's own quarterly scientific journal,
Chesapeake Science. It is distributed both here and abroad
to libraries, scientific institutions, laboratories, and con-
servation agencies. Numerous other contributions to the
world's scientific literature are made by Institute scientists
in the results of their research published in other special-
ized scientific journals.

Each year this group of University scientists digs a little
deeper into the biological and ecological secrets of nature
to help man better understand, use, and enjoy his natural
resources. In the past forty years these researchers have
written the prologue to effective conservation. But the
public interest demands that they redouble their efforts
in the next forty years. By then twice as many people will
be drawing on our already limited natural resources.
Through this two-pronged mission of research and edu-
cation the University has a vital role in assuring the next
generation of Maryland citizens its natural birthrights. &

American and English Universities:

A British View

an interview with Richard C. Stevenson 1

visiting lecturer of economics at

the University of Maryland.

edited by R. V. Eales

University News Bureau, University of Maryland.

W hat part do alumni organizations play in English
university education?

R.S. — As a matter of fact English universities are not very
big on alumni associations; there is the old school tie
system, but even that is breaking down. The reason, I
think, why alumni are virtually inactive is because uni-
versities get most of their funds from the government
and have little incentive to keep in touch with graduates.
Another thing, I believe, is that Englishmen don't look
back with fondness and nostalgia, as Americans seem
to, to their college days.

You mention the old school tie system in relation to alumni;
how about the other areas? For instance, are there degrees
of status attached to particular English universities?

R.S. — The academic profession, I would say, is a notori-
ously snobbish one, and certainly in England, Oxford
and Cambridge have a reputation that they don't en-
tirely deserve any longer. Though it's only slight now-
adays, there's a certain stigma attached to going to a
provincial university. But nevertheless this is just pure
snobbishness as far as I can tell. I've never heard an
objective reason to support the view that the education
at Oxford or Cambridge is any better than it would be
at Hull, Sheffield or Leeds. The variation among
English universities is less, I would say, than that
among American universities. An English degree is
pretty much an homogeneous commodity; if you've
got a B.A., it's a B.A. But in America I get the impres-
sion that it is where the B.A. comes from that counts.

iRichard C. Stevenson has been in this country three years. He
holds a B.Sc. (Econ.) from the London School of Economics and an
m.a. from Stanford University in California. His home in England
is in Long Eaton. Derbyshire.

How would it be determined then that a student can get to
Hull but not Oxford?

R.S. — It is mainly dependent upon results in high school.
However, some universities have departments which arc
particularly good, and the competition to get into them i^>
very high — so apart from doing well in high school, the
student will also have to do well in special examinations
set by the university concerned.

September-October 1965

117; the money for English universities come from?

r.S. — It comes from appropriations from a central body
within the Ministry oi Education called the University
Grants Committee, but some universities like Oxford
and Cambridge get considerable endowments from land
and property they have accumulated over the centuries.
The newer universities, though, get most of their money
from the government with a little help from industrial
anizations. But overall English universities work on
verj tiehl budgets. It's a fact that the annual budget
of Ni li. in more than the budgets of all the English
universities put together.

Is there the same rivalry in sports that is seen between some
American universities?

R.S. — The only mock rivalry exists at Oxford and Cam-
bridge. These two compete in soccer, rugby, cricket
and boat-race. But these are national events at which
the gung-ho alumni may turn up wearing their school
scarves and pretending they're thirty years younger. But
the other universities don't go in for it. Sports though
are generally different in English universities. You know,
I was amazed to come here and find you have a coach
for every sport, and secretaries and tickets being sold.
At home students elect a captain for the sport and he
picks the team while another student arranges the fix-
tures — in fact the students just arrange the whole thing.
I think that sport in American universities is just too
professional. The ordinary chap can't go and represent
his school; he has to be too good. I remember at London
School of Economics we had five or six soccer teams,
four rugby teams, three or four hockey teams and two
cricket teams. All of these teams would compete with
other schools according to the level of ability. So any-
body, even the least competent, could represent his col-
lege. I think a coach would have been resented — this is
a student activity just like student dances are, and I
don't think it's any business for university officials to
meddle in.

Who controls the universities in England?

R.S. — Ultimately, the Minister of Education, and under
him there's the University Grants Committee which I
mentioned before. In addition, the university has a
Chancellor who is a figurehead — the Chancellor of
London University, for instance, is the Queen Mother.
Then there is the Vice-Chancellor who is really the ad-
ministrative head. But you see it's very different from
American universities because the administration is far
more inconspicuous. It seemed to me that the London
School of Economics, which has five or six thousand
students, was pretty much run by a Bursar, a registrar
and two or three secretaries.

With your experience of teaching here, what differences
do you see between American and English students?

R.S. — I'm very impressed with American students. They
work a lot harder than English students, I think. The
reason is partly because they have to, but they are also
motivated much more than English students. I think
it also has a lot to do with the different natures of
American and English high schools. Everything comes
back to the high school sooner or later; here it seems
you get people coming from high schools, especially
from rural areas, who have seen nothing and know
nothing — and for eighteen-year-olds they are remark-
ably ignorant. Then suddenly they get into the univer-
sity and everything hits them. They realize what is going
on in the world — and become very excited. I find it
very rewarding to teach the American student, far more,
say, than the English student who when he comes to the
university at eighteen has already been doing some
pretty sophisticated work in high school. In his last two
years at high school he's been specializing in just three
subjects and gets to a fairly high level. He's not excited
by all this knowledge; it doesn't set him on fire like it
does most American students I've taught. He tends to
be a bit blase.

Does it cost much for the English student to go to a
university, and once he is finished what heights can he
reach?

R.S. — All schools are State supported in England and the
tuition is very low. I think it's about $150 a year for
any school. At Oxford and Cambridge it's about $180.
Even so, most English students have scholarship assis-
tance of some form. As to the second question you may
recall that recently the Conservatives elected their leader
for the first time ever. The constitutional and political
implications of this are enormous. Just like an American
child can dream of being President of the United States,
it now seems possible that an English child can dream of
being Prime Minister of Great Britain. A year ago, be-
fore Harold Wilson became Prime Minister and before
the Conservatives decided to elect their leader — this was
not true for 99.9 per cent of the population.

What's in the future for English universities?

R.S. — The prospects are exciting. I think that sometime
in the 1970's they intend to double the number of uni-
versity students. You see the proportion of the popula-
tion that goes to university is very low and the wastage
involved is terrible. The problem, as I see it, is that
we've been weeding out too many good people too early;
there's not enough flexibility in the system. To get on in
this world we've got to get more people into the univer-
sities. Some of the problem has been with the 11 -plus
which is an examination that pupils used to take at 11
years of age to determine whether or not they are
university material. Among other things, this examina-
tion did not account at all for late-bloomers. It has been
modified recently by the introduction of comprehensive
high schools in which students are grouped, according
to their ability, in the same school. Thus in this system
students can move up as their ability increases. Even
with this modification the wastage is still enormous, <£

RANKED AMONG THE NATION'S TOP 20 IN MOST OF THE PRE-
season polls, Maryland's football team opened its 1965
season against Ohio University in Byrd Stadium September 25.
A date with Syracuse, among the country's elite, the following
week was to be one of the two highlights of the home season,
the second being the nationally-televised game with Penn State
on December 4.

Although most of the experts picked our Terps to win the
Atlantic Coast Conference championship, LOOK Magazine
was an exception. Tim Cohane, the magazine's grid prognos-
ticator, wrote: 'Although Maryland will have the best team in
the Conference, a loss at North Carolina will cost it the
crown."' Explaining his apparent contradiction of ranking
Maryland 17th nationally while leaving Duke unranked,
Cohane said Duke would win the ACC title but be undercut
nationally by its usual non-Conference buzz saws ( Rice, Pitt.
Illinois and Georgia Tech).

Among those four, only Georgia Tech was ranked within the
first 20 (No. 15). Maryland, on the other hand, is scheduled
to play Penn State (No. 7) and Syracuse (No. 14). The figures
in parentheses are Cohane's idea of where they will rate
nationally. In one poll, Syracuse is ranked as high as fourth.
Penn State eighth.

Adding to the usual zest of the football season will be the
operation of Coach Tom Nugent's "human scoreboard" —
little Bernardo Bramson, raised in Chile, brought to the Uni-
versity on a soccer scholarship but converted to football last
year when he set an all-time school and conference record
for kicking field goals. Bernardo is the young man who started
this, and last, season wearing the No. "0" on his jersey,
and had his number changed with every point he kicked (to
correspond with the number of points he had scored). His
field goal in the last quarter of the Oklahoma opener last year
gave the crowd of 36,500 visions of an early-season upset,
giving Maryland a 3-0 lead at the time. Two touchdowns by

September-October 1965

the Sooners in the last four minutes ol play, the hist a \ irtual
"gift" from the desperate-to-score Terps. blasted the dream.
A whole stack of uniforms in Bernardo's size, ranging from
"1" to an unrevealed number, are now in the equipment room
waiting to be worn by the modest kid who wound up wearing
No. 44 last year.

Two of Maryland's eight ACC championship teams, cross-
country and soccer, swing into competition in October. Both
are coached by Maryland's oldest (in point of service)
coaches — the cross-country team by Jim Kehoe. entering his
19th season at the helm of Terp thinclads, and the soccer h\
Doyle Royal, starting his 18th. Maryland not only never has
failed to win the ACC soccer championship in the 12 years
the conference has been in existence, but never has lost to an
ACC team! Two ties are on the otherwise unsullied conference
record.

In addition, the Terps have participated in all six NCAA
tournaments held, reaching the finals twice and the semi-finals
three times. Maryland's record last year was 8-2 and both
of the defeats came by 1-0 scores. Navy did it during the
regular season on a penalty kick and Michigan State dupli-
cated the score in the opening round of the '64 playoffs. Navy,
incidentally, won the national championship by beating the
Spartans in the title game, also by a 1-0 count.

Of last year's team, nine lettermen return: James Dill. Duke
DiPompo, Roy Eales, Gerald Hoffman. Aat Muys. Robert
Newkirk, William Oxenham. Earl Shaub and Roger Stark.
Four of the eight games on this fall's schedule will be played
at College Park: with North Carolina State (October 4).
Catholic University (October 12), Army (October 16) and
Virginia (November 5). Road games will be played at Penn
State, Duke, North Carolina and Navy. The playoffs are
scheduled December 2-4.

Six lettermen return to the cross-country team which had
a 5-1 record last year. They are Stanley Arthur. Richard
French, Charles Harris, George Henry. Charles Kocstcr.
Milton Matthews and Charles Middleton. Last year marked
the third time in 12 years Maryland has won the title. North
Carolina has won six times, Duke twice and N.C. State once.

The schedule: October 1. at Virginia; l >. North Carolina:
16, at Duke: 23, at N.C. State; 30. at Navy.

November 15. ACC meet at Wake Forest; 22. NCAA
championships at Kansas.

Maryland was represented by 16 of the 131 ACC athletes
who were cited on the ninth annual Honor Roll of Athletes.
The conference awards certificates to students who averaged B
or better in the classroom during the school year and who
participated in a conference varsity event.

Ramsay Thomas, Maryland's three gold medal-winner, was
among those earning the honor for the third time, his full
varsity career. Another Terp, Don Dunphy, the swim captain,
was one of three practically tied for the highest grade, with
a 3.78 in arts.

Bob Kopnisky, our first national wrestling champion, was
among other Terps cited. The complete list: Nelson Aurand
(wrestling); Eberhard Klein (soccer); Mike George, Charles
Harris and Lawrence Walsh (track); Jon Kreissig and Chris
Sole (baseball); Bob Lewis (basketball); Lawrence Pearson
(golf); James Williams and Raoul Rebillard (swimming):
Steven Rosen (golf), and Bruce Springer (football). Jt

Basketball workouts start October 15 and Coach "Bud"
Millikan can hardly wait. Nine lettermen who gave him an
18-8 record last season, his best since 1957-'58, will return
and the outlook is bright. Three of the Terps' defeats last
winter were at the hands of N.C. State, eventual ACC
champions, the last coming in the semifinal round of the
Raleigh tournament. Two other losses came in overtime, and
another by two points. The courtmen had a fantastic second
semester record, winning 14 of 17 including a winning streak
of eight.

Jay McMillen, the big, prematurely-graying forward who
set a new scoring record for Maryland sophomores with 512
points (19.7 average), and Gary Ward, who'll be a senior,
head the returning cast. Neil Brayton, Jack Clark, Mike
DeCosmo, Billy Franklin and Rick Wise all will be seniors,
while Joe Harrington and Gary Williams will be other juniors,
out to retain their starting positions.

The Terps open their season at Penn State December 1 , and
their first home game will be December 4 (Yep, the night of
the nationally-televised football game wtih Penn State here that
afternoon. Why not have your dinner at College Park be-
tween the football and basketball games? Would save a lot of
wear and tear on tires ... to say nothing of the trouble of
having to park a second time).

Major home games are with Georgetown, Navy and West
Virginia, in addition to all the ACC foes. The Terps will fly
into the mid-west in December to play at Kansas and Kansas
State December 10 and 11. They also will play in the Sugar
Bowl tournament at New Orleans December 29-30, along
with Auburn, Dayton and Houston.

Cole Field House will be the site of its biggest sports ex-
travaganza yet, next March, when the semifinal and final
rounds of the N.C.A.A. basketball tournament will be played
here. But, alas! We can't hold out much hope for many who
would like to see it. Although the seating capacity may be
enlarged to 14,500, nearly 6,000 seats have been allocated
already (to the nation's basketball coaches who will be hold-
ing their annual convention in Washington that week, com-
peting schools anil N( A A officials). Maryland ticket manager
I ddie Mean will handle ALL sales through the mail and,
whenever the start of the sale is announced, will fill reserva-

Elected Head of DAV

Establishing a strong program of assis-
tance to wounded veterans through first
hand contacts with hospitalized men will
be the aim of the newly-elected National
Commander of the Disabled American
Veterans, Claude Callegary, ll.b. '50.

His struggle to achieve an education
during depression days, his military serv-
ice which began 9 months before Pearl
Harbor and a period of recovery follow-
ing a plane crash in the South Pacific in
1944 have all added to his appreciation
of the duties of an organization dedi-
cated to the needs of veterans.

Mr. Callegary enrolled at the Uni-
versity of Maryland in 1945, passed the
State bar examination in 1949 and re-
ceived his ll.b. in 1950. Senator Brew-
ster, who nominated the National Com-

mander, was in the same class and they
took the bar examination together.

During his days at the university, Mr.
Callegary began his work on behalf of
fellow veterans by founding a student
veterans organization of more than
5,000 members. At that time he joined
Free State Chapter No. 16. He has
since held every office in the chapter.
served as Judge Advocate for the De-
partment of Maryland and Senior Vice
Commander and Commander.

The senior partner in his own law
firm, Mr. Callegary has established a
distinguished record in the area o(
negligence, compensation and labor law.
In 1963 he received the Governor's
Certificate for Distinguished Citizen-
ship.

During the past year, he visited everj
state and traveled overseas seeking sup-
port from D.A.V. chapters. In between
transcontinental trips, he was in Wash-
ington promoting legislation which
would benefit the veteran. The remain-
ing time he spends with his wife,
Catherine, and their six youngsters. The
family lives in Baltimore.

50-plus Alumni Return
for Medical School Meeting

Of more than 400 medical school
alumni of the University who were
graduated more than 50 years ago, 22
returned to Baltimore in June to partici-
pate in alumni festivities. The senior
member, Dr. Edgar B. Friedenwald, was
from the class of 1903 and three were
from the class of 1905.

A highlight of this year's meeting was
a banquet at the Lord Baltimore Hotel
when the 50-year alumni members and
the newly inducted class of 1965 were
honored.

The "50 - year - plus" doctors came
from as far away as Puerto Rico and
Florida. Those attending were: Rafael

Alumnus Saves Child

H. Wayne Wampler, A&S '63, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Howard P. Wampler of
Road 4, Easton, Maryland has been
credited with saving the life of a three-
year-old girl in Fort Worth, Texas.

After little Caren Graham stumbled
from the boat dock at Lake Worth and
was discovered floating lifelessly in the
cold water, Lieutenant Wampler applied
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. He con-
tinued the procedure until the little girl
revived.

Lieutenant Wampler is assigned at
Carswell AFB, Texas, as a munitions
services branch chief.

A graduate of Baltimore Polytechnic
Institute, the Alpha Chi Sigma member
was commissioned upon completion of
Officer Training School at Lackland
AFB, Texas.

Code Translator Developed

A simple solid-state code translator has
been developed by Charles H. Popenoe,
Engr. '57, at the National Bureau of
Standards Institute for Basic Standards
(U. S. Department of Commerce). The
device developed by Popenoe, who re-
ceived his degree from the University of
Maryland in Aeronautical Engineering,
can translate an eight-level bit configur-
ation into any other eight-level code
and may be switched to perform the
reverse translation. The entire translator
is self-contained in a small cabinet (19
inches by 5 inches by 15 inches) and can
operate independently of other equip-
ment if necessary for checkout purposes.

The translation is accomplished by
two interconnected diode matrices, each
containing 400 silicon diodes wired for
a particular coding on plug-in circuit
boards. Either matrix may be used as
input or output, permitting bilateral
translation with a single circuit rather
than two. The reverse translation re-
quires only a switched interchange of
input and output connections.

In its present form, the translator is
connected between a paper tape reader
and a tape perforator so that the infor-
mation is read from the first tape, trans-
lated, and simultaneously punched into
the second tape in the new code. How-
ever, the device will perform code con-

version between any two pieces of digital
equipment which will accept input and
output information in parallel bit form,
such as magnetic tape or teletypewriters.
The adaptability of the machine is such
that its vocabulary may be expanded or
reduced as required and its use may be
expanded through supplementary code
boards.

Band Alumni Return
to Homecoming Field

For the third year since its inception the
University of Maryland Band Alumni
will perform during the Homecoming
half-time festivities. Graduates from
various parts of the country and repre-
senting a wide variety of occupations
are drawn back to the University
through their common interest in band
music and the fellowship of playing to-
gether again. Under the guidance of
the new director, Acton Ostling, Jr., and
assistant director John Wakefield, in-
struments and skills are dusted off in a
practice session on Homecoming morn-
ing. The grads then support the Uni-
versity fight song followed by the Alma
Mater during the half-time show.

During the year, the Band Alumni
further support the band by stimulating
local and State interest in the various
programs of the University Bands. One
of its most successful activities has been
the sponsorship of band scholarships
which are awarded high school musi-
cians on a competitive basis. Each year
the amount and number of scholarships
have increased. It is the aim of this
active group of alumni to keep building
its scholarships so the University Bands
can continue their position among the
best in the country.

This year's officers include: Dr. G.
Gary Clendenin, A&S '58, d.d.s. '62,
President; Phillip E. Hooks, Educ. '59,
Vice-President; Patricia King Swanson,
Educ. '56, Secretary; James Nichols,
Engr. '60, Treasurer; and Betty Munyon
Barbe, Educ. '58, Historian.

New Maryland Tax
is Published

Study

A study on Maryland taxes has been
published by the University's Bureau of
Business and Economic Research of the
College of Business and Public Admin-
istration.

Directed by Dr. Samuel B. Chase, Jr.,
the book is called, The Maryland Tax
Study.

It is designed to illuminate the magni-
tude of fiscal needs facing the State and
its subdivisions in the years ahead, and
on tax resources available to meet these
needs.

Produced for use by the Commission
on State and County Finance, the study
provides factual and analytical material
to serve as background for the Commis-
sion's inquiry into fiscal problems faced
by Maryland governmental units, but
does not make specific policy recom-
mendations.

It is composed of three principal
parts: Part I deals with the Maryland
economy; Part II with government ex-
penditure and revenue in the State; and
Part III with the system of State and
local taxation.

The study foresees:

• continued rapid growth of Mary-
land's population, particularly in the
Washington, D. C. and Baltimore metro-
politan areas,

• State and local government expen-
ditures are projected to grow relative to

the income „i the State's residents, con
turning a trend ol recent years,

• tax receipts al currenl tax rates are
projected to rise loss rapidly, imply
need for additional levies il the pro
jected expenditures are to be made, and

• among major tax sources, only in-
dividual income taxes are projected to
grow more rapidly, in percentage terms.
than expenditures.

The study notes the unequal fiscal re-
sources of the subdivisions and their
unequal expenditure requirements, and
adds that the present system ol sharing
State tax receipts with the subdivisions
does little to iron out these discrepancies

The implications of further tax-shar-
ing, and of granting additional taxing
powers to subdivisions to supplement the
property tax also are explored in the
study.

The research was financed bv the
State and the University.

Foreign Students
at Maryland

Each semester several thousand appli-
cations from foreign students, or pros-
pective foreign students, across the globe
land on the University's admission desk.

Last year the University had the sec-
ond largest foreign student population
in the Washington-Baltimore area. Un-
dergraduate and graduate students total-
ing 602 represented 72 countries. This
Fall, more than 650 are enrolled.

Asia supplies the majority, and physics
is the most popular field for graduates
with 81 students. Nine foreign students
earned Ph.D.'s in physics last year, and
21 percent of the total Ph.D.'s granted
at the University were awarded to
foreign students.

On the undergraduate level the Col-
lege of Engineering draws most, but this
field just snips Arts and Sciences by a
test tube.

Where does it all begin? How does
a student from Ecuador, for instance,
happen to find himself eating a ham-
burger in College Park?

"People in other countries learn about
the University and its offerings from ed-
ucational publications such as that put
out by the Institute of International Ed-
ucation and from the more than 100
overseas branches of the University,"
says Professor Furman A. Bridgers,
foreign student adviser.

Also there are orientation programs
being developed abroad similar to one
initiated by the Bureau of Educational
and Cultural Affairs of the State De-
partment two years ago in the United
Arab Republic.

Professor Bridgers was given a Ful-

bright Scholarship to spend two months
in Cairo "correcting misconceptions
about American life, and educational
structure."

"Students had little knowledge of our
educational system," said Professor
Bridgers. He and another professor also
conducted English language classes in
Cairo.

Once the student applies to the Uni-
versity of Maryland, he is subjected to
a thorough evaluation by the admissions
office and by the Foreign Student Ad-
viser's office.

In addition to assisting with the job
of screening, the orientation of foreign
students and sorting out the many prob-
lems which arise — from visas to
housing — fall in the lap of Professor
Bridgers.

"Foreign student applicants are
judged in terms of the academic work
achieved in their own countries. Those
with the best records are chosen since
the University can only accept 500 non-
immigrant students," Professor Bridgers
explained.

Consideration is given also to a stu-
dent's proficiency in English. Tests are
administered in U. S. consulates abroad
to determine the student's knowledge
of English. The results are transmitted
to Professor Bridgers' office in College
Park. The passing grade is 80.

If a student makes between 75 and
79, he may enroll in an English course
for foreign students given by Professor
Bridgers three time a week on the cam-
pus to boost his knowledge of the
language.

Even so, for many students language
is a problem. Some find it hard to digest
so much reading material in so short a
time. Consequently, many foreign stu-
dents get off to a slow start, and take
longer to earn their degrees.

Foreign students are financed by their
own resources, their family, or, in some
cases, by their government. Only ten
percent are financed by the U. S. Gov-
ernment.

Many students get themselves into
financial tangles — "mainly through
ignorance," says Professor Bridgers.

"Some foreign students get the idea
they can come here and work, but it's
not as easy as that. First, permission
must be obtained from the immigration
authorities — but such permission is not
guaranteed by any means."

In some cases, however, a student's
financial status is affected by other cir-
cumstances. Marriage and babies head
the list.

Housing is sometimes a problem, and
before the fall semester, Professor
Bridgers, in cooperation with the hous-
ing office, hires a housing assistant to
canvass the area and make initial con-
tact with landlords who have rooms to
rent.

"One of the housing assistant's tasks
is to make sure there are cooking facili-

The Maryland Magazine

ties for students who, because of their
particular diets, have to cook," said Pro-
fessor Bridgers.

Out of Maryland's foreign student
population, 390 are housed off-campus,
52 are in dorms, 1 1 live in veteran's
housing, two live in the faculty club, one
lives in a fraternity, and the rest live
with parents or sponsors.

Generally, foreign students do as well
as American students academically.
"There is no difference in drop-out rates
for either," reports Professor Bridgers.

Socially, there is a tendency for Mary-
land's foreign students to form groups
based on nationality such as the Chinese,
Indian and Ukrainian clubs.

But much of foreign student social
life is centered on the activities of the
International Club and the People-to-
People program. The former club's In-
ternational Fiesta is a highlight of the
year at which foreign students in na-
tional dress show off their countries'
products to the public within the atmos-
phere of a grand ball.

What do Maryland's students do
when they return to their countries?

Looking at one country, Iraq, it seems
they do well. In that country the former
Minister of Education, the present
Director of Cultural Affairs and the
Dean of Iraq's Law College all hold
degrees from the University of Mary-
land.

Studies are underway to determine
how many students do return to their
own countries. So far only one percent
of "J" students remain in the U. S. The
"J" refers to a visa type which requires
the student to leave the country when
his study is completed.

Another type is the "F" visa which
allows a student to stay here 18 months
after graduation. Of the students who
enter with this visa, eight percent remain
indefinitely in the country after gradua-
tion.

Newest School
Enrolls 79 Students

A Graduate School of Library Science,
the newest professional school at the
University, began its operations on
September 13 with an enrollment of 34
full-time and 45 part-time students.

Dean Paul Wasserman said that a
36-credit-hour sequence of courses lead-
ing to a master of library science degree
(M.L.S.) has been established.

New faculty are:

• Daniel Bergen as Assistant Profes-
sor who comes to Maryland from Syra-
cuse University where he was Assistant
Dean of the School of Library Science;

• Dr. Mary Lee Bundy as Associate
Professor who comes from the State
University of New York at Albany. She
will offer instruction in the public library
field and conduct research on public
library problems in the State under ar-
rangements made with the library ex-

ALUMNI ! DON'T FORGET
HOMECOMING, OCTOBER 23

A University is Born

by Margaret B. Ballard, M.D.

First book to be published about the University of Maryland
since 1907. To come off the press November 1, 1965. Over
300 pages, illustrated and indexed. Limited edition, $7.50. Fill out
the coupon below to reserve your copy.

A charter was granted to form a University of Maryland in 1812
which would be engrafted upon the Medical College of Maryland
founded in 1807. For the next 108 years the College struggled to
fulfill the requirements for a University. Finally in 1920 a true
University was realized. A University Is Born is the story of
these 108 years, telling of the trials and difficulties, the people who
worked to make the institution possible, and the many FIRST
things that were done by the early Faculty of Physiek. The growth
of the University located at College Park, Maryland is traced from
its earliest roots in the Cattle Fairs held in the middle 1700's to
its merger with the University of Maryland in Baltimore in 1920.

was advised by his doctor to forego de-
livering his paper, but he decided to go
ahead because of the time spent in
preparing the article.

Survivors are his widow, Nan, of
5824 35th Place, Hyattsville, Maryland,
three sisters, and a brother, all of the
Boston area.

Alumni Enthusiasm is Evident at Homecoming

ALUMNI RETURNED TO THE COLLEGE PARK CAMPUS IN
record numbers for Homecoming Day on October
23. An increase in alumni interest and participation was
evidenced as the grads took part in the many activities
provided on their day.

The morning period started with tours of the New
J. Millard Tawcs Fine Arts and College of Education Build-
ings where alumni hosts and hostesses from the respective
colleges greeted the visitors, attractive undergraduates
served as guides, and faculty representatives explained the
numerous points of interest within the new buildings. For
the athletic-minded, football film highlights were shown
in the Student Union auditorium, a bowling tournament was
held on the Student Union lanes, and the new Sporran
(roll ( curse was the scene of driving, putting, and hole-
in-one contests.

The morning's registration period in the foyer of the
Student Union Building was the focal point for meeting
and greeting old friends. Coffee and cookies were available
in an adjoining lounge. Hostesses were Dean of Women
Emeritus, Adele E. Stamp, Mrs. L. B. Broughton, Mrs.
Louise Schutz, A&S '48, Mrs. Tempe Curry Grant, Home
Ec. '40, and Mrs. C. Read Madary, Jr., Home Ec. '58.

Highlight of the alumni luncheon in the Student Union
Building, attended by approximately 500 alumni and
guests, was the presentation of the Association's Outstand-
ing Alumnus Award to Jerome S. Hardy, BPA '39,
Publisher of Life Magazine and Vice President of Time,
Inc. The award, which was initiated on this occasion, was
presented to Mr. Hardy by Howard G. Crist, Jr., Ag. '40,
Chairman of the Council's Award Committee. The hand-
some gold and walnut plaque cited Mr. Hardy for "recog-

The Maryland Magazine

nized success and significant contributions to the field of
journalism and international communications.'"

Other luncheon highlights were greetings by President
Wilson H. Elkins, and Judge Joseph L. Carter, President
of the Alumni Association. Musical selections were pre-
sented by the University's combined men and women's
choruses. Student leaders, including Mr. Ted Levin, Presi-
dent of the Student Government Association, attended as
guests of the Association.

After lunch, the graduates filed to nearby Byrd Stadium
to witness the colorful parade of 36 floats portraying the
theme, "Maryland Reads the Comics." The pre-game cere-
monies included the crowning of 21 -year-old Joan Quigley
as Homecoming Queen, and the presentation of an
alumni award by President Joseph L. Carter to Allen R.
Hettleman, student Chairman of Homecoming, as recog-
nition to the undergraduate who contributed the most to the
success of Homecoming activities.

The results of the football game with the "Wolfpack"
from North Carolina State somewhat dampened the
enthusiasm of some of the grads, as Maryland came out
on the short end of the 29 to 7 score.

Following the game, a large number of alumni and their
friends attended the post-game social in the Student Union
ballroom. Awards for the morning athletic contests were
presented.

That evening the young-at-heart topped off a busy day
at the Homecoming Dance in the Reckord Armory. Music
was provided by Morgan Baer and his orchestra and the
Drifters.

Following is a list of those Alumni who stopped by the
registration desk at the Student Union on Homecoming
Day, October 23. The list is arranged according to the
year of graduation.

Inside Maryland Sports

by Bill Dismer
Sports Information Director

TWO OF MARYLAND'S DEFENDING ATLANTIC COAST CON-
ference championship teams — swimming and wrestling —
and another rated a strong contender for a title this winter
begin competition in December, with eight of the 18 events
scheduled for College Park.

Although December 4 is the date most Terrapin supporters
have had encircled for some time — the nationally-televised
football game with Penn State in Byrd Stadium starting at
1:30 and the first home basketball game at 8:15 in Cole
Field House with Wake Forest — December 6 is taking on
the aspects of one of the biggest nights in Maryland's
home wrestling history.

That is the night when Oklahoma, perennially one of the
wrestling powers of the Nation, will come to College Park for
the first time. My assistant and wrestling expert Bob Stumpff
will be telling you all about the Sooner grapplers later on in
this article.

Prior to that, Maryland's swimmers will have formally
opened the Winter sports season at home, being scheduled to
meet North Carolina State in our pool. This is one of three
home meets scheduled for the afternoon beginning at 4 o'clock.
The two other meets in Cole will be held at night. Incidentally,
the Terps will begin and end their season against two of their
strongest rivals from the Tar Heel State, North Carolina being
scheduled for the final home opponent on February 1 1.

Basketball fans have reason to be excited over Bud Millikan's
16th Maryland team, stocked as it is with nine lettermen,
including the top seven from last year's squad. Led by Jay
McMillen and Gary Ward, the Terps finished the 1964-65
campaign with a rush, winning 14 of their last 17 games and
finishing in a three-way tie for second place in the ACC.
In compiling an 18-8 record, the best in seven years, Maryland
was beaten only once by more than nine points, Duke taking
an 82-64 decision down at Durham. McMillen & Co. got
even for that one later on here in College Park when they
whipped the Blue Devils, 85-82, before a capacity crowd.

Three of Maryland's eight defeats were administered by
the eventual Conference champion, North Carolina State, but
every game was close. The first was a one-pointer here in early
December, the second by a six down at Raleigh and the
third in the tournament semifinal by nine.

Great things are expected again of McMillen, the 6-7,
215-pounder who set a record for College Park sophomores
by scoring 512 points in 26 games (19.7 average). Coach
Millikan tabs him and Ward, a senior, as ail-American
potentials and the two finished one-two for scoring honors
last year. Ward wound up with 469 (one point over an 18-
point average).

Starting with them will be another senior, Neil Brayton at
forward, and two other juniors, 6-5 Joe Harrington and Gary
Williams. The latter, although standing only an even six
feet, was the best ali-around floor man and the quickest man at
getting the ball down the floor that Maryland has had in
years.

Maryland was a good road team last year, winning nine of
its 14 games on foreign floors, but must be an even better one
this season if it expects to equal its 1964-65 record. Fifteen
of the 25 games on the schedule are slated for out-of-town
against such stalwarts as Kansas and Kansas State (to be met
on successive nights in early December), Navy, Penn State
and West Virginia. The opener with Penn State on December
I should be particularly tough as the Nittany Lions will have
back most of the veterans who gave them a 20-4 record last
year and they will not have forgotten how Brayton's game-
ending shot here last December left them on the short end of
a 72-71 score.

The Terps also have been invited to participate in the
annual Sugar Bowl tournament in New Orleans during Christ-
mas week and their competition there will be of the best. Two
of the other teams, Dayton and Houston, were at-large en-
trants in the NCAA tournament last winter, finishing with a
22-7 and 19-10 record. Dayton has six lettermen returning,
Houston seven. Auburn will be the fourth contestant.

Maryland's biggest home games will come on December 7,
against ACC champion N.C. State; December 15 against neigh-
boring rival Georgetown; January 19 against Navy; February
5, North Carolina; February 12, West Virginia, and February
19, Duke.

Two of the home games will be on regional TV (North
Carolina and Duke) and will be played on Saturday after-
noons, starting at 2 o'clock.

Now let's read what Linn Hendershot, my swimming and
track expert, and Bob Stumpff have to say:

Headlined by all-American Phil Denkevitz, Coach Bill
Campbell's Maryland swimming team opened its 1965-66
season on December 1 against North Carolina State.

Campbell in his ten years of coaching at Maryland has
compiled a record of 84 wins and 24 losses. In the last six
years, the Terp tankers have either tied or won the Atlantic
Coast Championship.

Denkevitz, from Baltimore, set NCAA freshman records
with times of 21.0 in the 50-yd. freestyle and 47.3 in the
100-yd. freestyle. As a sophomore, his time of 21.1 in the
50 was second only to Olympic Champion Steve Clarke of
Yale.

Co-captains Eric Lampe and Bill Nullmeyer, along with
Denkevitz form the nucleus for the 1965-66 team. Lampe, a
senior from Erie, Pennsylvania, will be swimming the 50-yd.
and 100-yd. freestyle and be on the same relay teams. Lampe
is the President of the M-Club, the lettermen's association, and
is a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity.

Nullmeyer, from Rockville, was the ACC 200-yd. freestyle
champion and placed second in the 500-yd. freestyle.

Jim Kehoe, the senior member of the Terrapin coaching
staff, will unveil the University's 1966 Indoor Track team
on January 8 when the Terps take part in the Richmond
Invitational.

Kehoe, in his 20th season, has won 32 Southern and
Atlantic Coast Conference Track Championships since be-
coming head track coach. Included among the 32 titles is the
1965 cross-country championships.

With George Henry and Dave Starnes pacing the Terp
harriers, the Marylanders won the ACC cross-country title for
the second year in a row. In practically every meet this two-
some either tied or set a new course record. On October 8,
Henry set a new Maryland record of 19:39 over the four-
mile course breaking his old record set last year of 19:43.

Starnes, a sophomore from Hendersonville, North Caro-
lina, erased Henry's mark on October 30 against the Naval
Academy with a fantastic clocking at 19:09.1.

Looking forward to the indoor season, Maryland should have
one of the most colorful teams in the East. Led by such
standouts as Henry, Starnes and Frank Costello, the NCAA
high-jump champion, Kehoe's tracksters aim to improve on
last year's performance in which they had three NCAA
Champions, five IC4A Champions, and 1 7 ACC Champs.
The Terps also set 10 ACC records and 15 University records
during the 1964-65 season.

This year's wrestling team will be trying to live up to last
year's, which finished ninth in the Nation for the second
straight year, after being ranked ninth before the season.
This was the first year ever a Maryland team had a pre-season
ranking in the top ten.

This year's team will definitely miss the three captains.
Nelson Aurand, all-Americans Tim Geiger and Bob Kopnisky,

The Maryland Magazine

and John Bertinatti who graduated. But the squad will have
more depth than the '65 team with nine lettermen reluming:
Jim Arnoult, Olaf Drozdov, John Henderson. Bob Karch,
Tom Norris, Tom Schleicher, Amando Soto. Milt rhomas,
and Kent Webster. In addition five sophomores who were
outstanding freshmen will be vying for starting positions on

The Carmichael Cup, symbolic of athletic excellence in the
Atlantic Coast Conference, is being presented to President Elkins by
Mrs. Robert M. Lester, Jr. of Chapel Hill. North Carolina. Mrs.
Lester is the sister of William D. Carmichael, II. who has donated
the Cup in honor of his father, William D. Carmichael, Jr., one
of North Carolina's all-time athletes.

It was the third time in four years since the Cup has been in
competition that Maryland has won it, this last time with a
record-breaking number of points. Maryland won eight of the 12
championships, finished in a second-place tie for another, a third-
place tie for still another and a third and fourth-place.

Below, coaches and captains are congratulated by Mrs. Lester
and President Elkins.

Assateague Island Bill
Signed; Dr. Truitt Attends

Dr. R. V. Truitt, A&S "14, and former
President of the Alumni Association,
1961-62, was one of the invited guests
and received two ceremonial pens from
President Johnson in the White House
recently when the Assateague Island
bill was signed into law.

Dr. Truitt, the first President of the
Queen Anne's County Historical Society,
has worked for the establishment of a
national seashore for the area for 30
years. In 1934 he went before Congress
to discuss the founding of such a park.
His own state representatives were not
impressed, but the representative from
Virginia was, and
out of that came
the founding of
the wildlife sanc-
tuary now in ex-
istence on the
lower part of the
island located in
Virginia.

When the Pres-
ident gave him his
pen, Dr. Truitt
asked if he could have another one to
present to the Worcester County His-
torical Society. The President immedi-
ately handed him another.

Cited as the last major stretch of
pristine beach between Cape Cod, Mass-
achusetts, and Cape Hatteras, North
Carolina, Assasteague Island is the
sixth shoreline tract marked for preser-
vation in a natural condition by the
Federal government.

The project will halt private develop-
ment of the 33-mile barrier reef and
clear the way for public conservation
and reaction.

The island, with its white, sandy
beach, is particularly well adapted for
surf bathing and sunning and is within
relatively easy reach of the mushroom-
ing metropolitan areas of Baltimore,
Washington, Wilmington, Philadelphia,
and Norfolk.

The wildlife refuge and the determina-
tion of wildlife lovers to restrict travel
inside its boundaries almost stalled the
bill. However, Virginia backers of a
proposal to run a road through that
portion of the island won their point.

As amended before final passage, the
measure provides for a road to be built
but with the exact location to be decided
by the Department of the Interior.

Under the bill, property owners who
had built homes on the island prior to
1963 would retain them for 25 years.

The legislation authorizes up to
$16,250,000 for acquisition of land,
and as much as is needed for develop-
ment of the island, which fronts on the
Atlantic Ocean and is separated from
the mainland by Sinepuxent and Chin-
coteague Bays.

The national seashore consists of
39,630 acres of land and water. Of the
19.096 land acres, about 9,453 are in
Federal ownership, 922 acres are in
state ownership and 8,721 are privately
owned.

The bill gives Maryland the right to
acquire or lease from the Federal gov-
ernment any of the island north of the
area now used as a state park. It also
sets aside a 600-acre area just south of
the Maryland State Line for private con-
struction of overnight and other public
accommodations.

The National Park Service said that
in its development of the island it will
determine fair market values and draft
a master plan for swimming areas,
picnic areas and other park facilities.

A Park Service spokesman said that
undoubtedly there will be some kind
of marina for the accommodation of
boats.

1903 Alumnus Practices
Medicine in Massachusetts

With typical New England directness
and with the wealth of philosophy that
comes from a long and contented life.
Dr. Alston H. Lancaster, Med. '03, re-
cently progressed to his 91st birthday.

"I've been practicing medicine for 75
years," he says with a smile and then
explains that when he was still a
youngster he made house calls with his
hometown ( Bowdoinham, Maine) doc-
tor who let him do a lot more than just
hold the horse while the call was made.

Medicine has been Dr. Lancaster's
one ambition and at 91 he is one of
the oldest practicing physicians in the
country. He resides in Worcester,
Massachusetts.

"Why, I'd rather do that for $5,000
a year than something else for $25,000
a year," he remarks.

A champion of the general practi-
tioner. Dr. Lancaster feels that there
should be more doctors who can sit
down and talk things over with their
patients.

With but the slightest remnants of a
earthy, heartwarming Maine accent on
his lips, the doctor will tell you that he
doesn't plan to retire.

"When I get ready for that," he says
with a wry smile, "I'll call the under-
taker and see what he thinks.

"If he thinks I'm ready, we'll make it
the first of the week."

Those friends who are also his patients
find that his office is a mixture of med-
ical paraphernalia and odds and ends
he's collected as mementos for a long
time. It would seem that he draws his
patients and friends right into the inner
circle of his experiences — he'll tell you
stories and show you pictures of the
sulky horses he used to raise in Oxford
and Greenfield, and of his hunting he'll
recall with utmost honesty the time he

and a guide were temporarily lost in the
darkness ol the tall Maine woods

Then when you're leaving the homes
offices on the lirst floor ol his old
brick home, he'll show sou his "novels,"
a half-dozen different editions ol the

Bible. He's read (his hook ovei and
over again.

Dr. Lancaster would like to heal from
other classmates ol the '03 era He
may be reached at 997 Mam Street,
Worcester. Mass.

History of the University
Now Available to Alumni

The University's history emerges m lull
this month with the publication In the
Maryland Historical Society ol Prof.
George H. Callcott's long-awaited book.
A History of the University of Marx-
land.

Six years ago the University's His-
tory Department, persuaded of the rela-
tively unknown richness of the institu-
tion's past, recommended that this book
be undertaken by a member of the
faculty who would be given free access
to all University records and a com-
pletely free hand in interpreting the
material. The Department recom-
mended creation of a faculty committee
to offer advice, but emphasized that the
author must be solely responsible for
the book that finally resulted. President
Elkins and the Board of Regents ac-
cepted these recommendations, and Dr.
Callcott, Assistant Professor of History,
was asked to undertake the project. As
an independent scholarly project, the
book was never subjected to censorship
or approval of any kind.

The author views the present adminis-
tration of President Plkins as a natural
and inevitable succession, building on
the gains of the past, and lilting Mar>-
land to the front ranks ol American uni-
versities. Prof. Callcott analyzes the
ingredients of excellence in a modern
university, the forces behind today's
ballling student mood, and the implica-
tions of soaring enrollment.

The book is handsomely bound, fully
illustrated and indexed. It is priced at
$8.00 and is available through local
bookstores and through the Maryland

A HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND

by George H. Callcott

Associate Professor of History at the University

In a book of scholarship and wit Professor
Callcott presents the story of the institution
from the establishment of Washington and St.
John's colleges as the "first" University of
Maryland through a forthright and understand-
ing treatment of recent controversies. It is the
full history of the University since 1907. Based
on complete access to all University records,
supervised by a committee of historians, the
book was never subjected to "censorship" or
official "approval."

Professor Callcott skillfully captures the
unique personality of the University and its
grand traditions. By relating events on the cam-
pus to developments in thought and politics, he
contributes to the social and intellectual history
of the State. He views today's University of
Maryland as one of the strongest and most
promising educational citadels in the world.

The author narrates:

• the stories of some of the first and finest of
American professional schools — Medicine,
Law, Divinity, Pharmacy, Dentistry and

Nursing;

• the development of the institution at College
Park from a college for the sons of aristo-
cratic planters, through the impact of Civil
War and industrialization, to new ideals of
democracy, public service and excellence.

• the evolution of student life — from serious
scholars hiding from hostile mobs, to second-
hand Confederate uniforms, to raccoon coats,
big-time football and today's post-Berkeley
mood.

• the spectacular and controversial age of
"Curley" Byrd;

• the present drive for quality in the midst of
quantity.

About 450 pp. plus index and 16 pp. of illustrations.
Special prepublication price — $7.00, postage and sales
tax included; price on publication $8.00 including
